摘要

Water-Resistant Weighing Apparatus Water-resistant weighing apparatus comprising a load cell having a plate, one or more beams with fixed ends connected to the plate and strain sensing means on the beams. A platter is supported by the beams for receiving a load applied between the plate and the beam. The platter encloses the top and sides of the load cell and a shield is connected to the bottom of the platter and encloses the bottom of the load cell. A gasket is provided to seal the interface between the platter and the shield. A plurality of feet are provided for contact with a support surface. Bushings extend through the shield and connect the plate to the feet and sealing boots are provided to seal the openings in the shield for the bushings. The shield may include a vent to expose the load cell to atmospheric pressure and a subbase plate may be provided to deflect moisture from the bottom of the shield and the vent.
