Advantage HI LPRC03
Hermetic Compression Load Point

ADVANTAGE® HI LPRC03 low profile, rocker load point systems are specially designed for high capacity hopper and tank weighing. Easy to install by bolting or welding, they have a low profile, and provide more lift off protection. Each rocker load point consists of either plated, cast or stainless steel mounting hardware and a stainless steel mV/V & mV/V/ohm matched load sensor with true hermetic sealing, Hardy’s exclusive C2® calibration, a ¼ NPT conduit adapter and 30 feet of cable for 110K and less and 50 feet of cable for 220K and above.

Each assembly provides built-in checking, lift off protection and is specifically designed to eliminate the effects of unwanted forces to provide exceptional accuracy. A grounding strap, fixed color code wiring label and installation manual are provided with each load point. The sensors have an IP rating of IP68/IP69K. The HI RCH03 load cell is certified to NTEP Class III.

The HI LPRC03 rocker load point assembly is available in the following standard capacities: 16.5K, 33K, 50K, 66K, 88K, 110K, 220K, 330K and 660K lbs.

Dummy load cells are available for both the RCH03 and RCH04 sensors.  Dummy load cells that have the same mounting and load introduction characteristics as the cell it replaces. These are used as intermediate place holders in weighing systems that are being worked on (i.e. welding, painting and moving vessels), and those that require input and output apparatuses in any given application.  Dummy load cells provide level control and are usually used to stand in for self aligning load points that require dry runs of the system prior to complete operation.

Hermetic Load Point/Weigh Module Assembly Compression
Medium Capacity: 44 - 450 lbs. (20 - 200kg)

The Hardy HI LPB ADVANTAGE® Series, sliding load point/weigh module system is designed for use on light to medium capacity vessels. Each weigh module consists of mounting hardware and a stainless steel mV/V and mV/V/ohm matched load sensor with true hermetic sealing, C2® Electronic Calibration capabilities, onboard electronic certs, a ¼ NPT conduit adapter and ten feet of cable.

Each pre-assembled, low profile load point system provides lift off protection and consists of three mount types specifically designed to eliminate the effects of unwanted forces to provide exceptional accuracy. The assembly can be positioned 360 degrees in ninety degree steps. A grounding strap and fixed color code wiring label is provided with each load point. The mounting hardware is available in either stainless or zinc plated steel. The sensors have an IP rating of IP68/IP69K.

The HI LPB is available in the following standard capacities: 44 lbs, 110 lbs, 225 lbs, 450 lbs, and come fully assembled with shipping bracket for protection.

Hardy also offers Dummy load cells that have the same mounting and load introduction as the cell it replaces. These are used as intermediate place holders in weighing systems that are being worked on (i.e. welding, painting and moving vessels), and those that require input and output apparatuses in any given application.  These are usually used in self aligning load points that require dry runs of the system prior to complete operation.

Welding fixtures are temporary fixtures used during alignment and welding.  Welding Fixtures have the same dimensions and bolting pattern as the load point being installed.

Hardy Shear Beam Series

Shear Beam Load Point Assemblies

Hardy Process Solutions is committed to providing customer value through the configurability of its sensor line. For compression applications between 1125 lb and 22,500 lb (.5 mt and 10 mt), Hardy offers four different configurations of shear beam load points. Customers can choose between two different levels of moisture ingress protection on load sensors, and between two mounting hardware options. These mounting options offer different levels of liftoff and side force protection, thermal expansion, and vibration accommodation, depending on the application requirements.

For demanding mounting situations with side forces (~50% Emax) and anti-uplift requirements

HI HLPS: The Hardy HI HLPS ADVANTAGE® Series sliding load point system consists of a stainless steel, mV/V and mV/V/ohm matched HI SBH04 load sensor with true hermetic sealing and C2® electronic calibration capabilities. The IP68/IP69k load sensor combined with the bumper, slider, fixed mounting configuration offers the best in moisture and corrosion protection, along with best-in-class protection from liftoff (6.6 -15.2Klbs) and side forces, and best-in-class accuracy in high thermal expansion and vibration installations. The bumper slider fixed mount is perfect for agitated vessels, vibratory feeders, and wind-loaded tanks.

HI LPS05: The Hardy Process Solutions Advantage® Lite HI LPS05 mid-range shear beam load point offers the same bumper, slider, fixed mounting configuration as the HI HLPS load point with an IP67 HI SB05 load sensor. The HI SB05 is a stainless steel, mV/V and mV/V/ohm matched load sensor with C2® Electronic Calibration capabilities, and has the ability to deliver customer savings for applications that do not require hermetic sealing.

HI HLPRE04: The HI HLPRE04 pairs the ADVANTAGE® Series HI SBH04 hermetically sealed IP68/IP69k load sensor with the cost-effective HIMSBRE mount. Perfect for mezzanine level tank, hopper, or platform installations with wash-down requirements, the HI MSBRE mount offers consistent load introduction in a lower profile installation. The blind hole load pin with rubber element design provides stray voltage isolation, minor misalignment correction, and absorbs minor thermal expansion and shock.

HI LPRE05: The HI LPRE05 pairs the ADVANTAGE® Lite Series HI SB05 environmentally sealed load sensor with the HIMSBRE mount, offering the lowest cost shear beam installation. The IP67 HI SB05 load cell delivers exactly what is required for minimally-wet mezzanine level tank, hopper, or platform applications.

Contact Hardy today to determine which Shear Beam Load Point is ideal for your application. 

Hardy now offers Dummy load cells for the SBH04 and the SB05 sensors that have the same mounting and load introduction characteristics as the cell it replaces. These are used as intermediate place holders in weighing systems that are being worked on (i.e. welding, painting and moving vessels), and those that require input and output apparatuses in any given application.  Dummy load cells provide level control and are usually used to stand in for self aligning load points that require dry runs of the system prior to complete operation.

Welding fixtures are designed to hold a mount into place during the welding step of the installation process, providing alignment.  Welding fixtures have the same dimensions and bolting pattern as the load point being used. This helps prevent precision load sensors from being damaged in the welding process.  When welding is complete, the fixture is removed and replaced with the load sensor. Hardy offers welding fixtures for the HLPS.
