Customer need/challenge

When oil is extracted from the ground, a refinement process follows to remove sediments and other impurities. After the filtering process, the crude oil needs to be weighed in order to be redistributed. A weighing system is needed to measure mass amounts of crude oil.

Accurately weighing barrels of crude oil, before moving on to the next process of distribution.

Interface Solution

Interface’s solution is to secure four SSB Sealed Beam Load Cells at the bottom of a metal platform. The SSB Sealed Beam Load Cells will measure the force applied by the weight of the barrels of crude oil. All four SSB’s are connected to a JB104SS Junction Box, which is connected to the 480 Bidirectional Weight Indicator, and combined the accurate weight results are displayed.

Results

Interface’s industrial weighing system accurately weighed the barrels of crude oil, so it can move onto the next process of distribution.

How it works

Four SSB Sealed Beam Load Cells are secured to the bottom of a metal platform.
Barrels of crude oil are placed on the Interface’s industrial scale, where it was weighed on the metal platform.
The multiple SSB’s were wired together to a JB104SS Junction Box, which was then connected to the 480 Bidirectional Weight Indicator to measure the combined results of the four SSB Sealed Beam Load Cells.
