Question

You are developing a measurent system to measure the output force from a 50 hp small engine. The main instrument to be used is a load cell. Go to the following Omega webpage: 1. https://www.omega.com/ppts/LC101 html If you are expecting the force you need to measure to be between 20 lb and 45 lb: a) Please select the most appropriate load cell to be used and provide the model number. Note: the "cable" model is required. b) Using the specifications for the load cell, determine the overall instrument error (in pounds) that is expected from your chosen load cell.

Explanation / Answer

a) we are epecting a force in between 20 lb to 45lb

so in this range of force we have only one load cell available and

model is LC101-25, it is a cable connection model.

b) the specifications of the model

Exitation - 10 VDC, 15 VDC max

output- 3 mV/V +- 0.0075mV/V

Linearity- +- 0.03% FSO

repeatability +- 0.01% FSO

operating temperature range - -40 to 90 degree centigerade

compansated temperature range - 17 to 71 degree centigrade

safe overload- 150 % of capacity

ultimate overload -300 % of capacity
