SINGLE POINT LOAD CELL MEASURING APPARATUS

摘要

A method and device for weighing vessels, particularly a vessel being used in a process or bioprocess. The weighing device includes a load cell that is attached at one end to a structural support, and at the other is rigidly connected to a vessel. The center of gravity of the vessel is off set from a primary load axis of the load cell. The load may be a single point load cell having a specified load platform and the center of gravity of the vessel is substantially orthogonal to a plane of the specified load platform and lies within the range of the specified load platform. The weighing device may also include a cantilever vessel support that is rigidly attached to the load cell, and which supports the vessel.
