Last week continuation :
Here is a list of the main automatic weighing instruments that must meet the OIML
(International Organization of Legal Metrology) requirements and recommendations: Continuous totalizer – OIML R 50 An automatic instrument that determines the mass of a bulk product placed on a conveyor belt, without the need for a systematic subdivision of the product and without interrupting the movement of the belt. Railway vehicle weighbridge – OIML R 106 An automatic instrument equipped with a load receiver including tracks, on which the railway vehicles are being weighed. Technology Update Weight/price labeler – OIML R 51 An automatic instrument that labels individual items with their weight and price information. Gravimetric filling machine – OIML R 61 An automatic instrument that fills containers with a predetermined and virtually constant mass of bulk production. Weighing in motion is also a common application in rail transport. Trains are weighed, either on the main line or at yards.Weighing in Motion systems installed on the main lines measure the complete weight (distribution) of the trains as they pass by at the designated line speed. Weighing in motion on the mainline is therefore also referred to as “coupled-in-motion weighing”: all of the railcars are coupled. Weighing in motion at yards often measure individual wagons. Itrequires that the railcars are uncoupled on both ends in order to weigh. Weighing in motion at yards is therefore also referred to as “uncoupled-in-motion weighing”. Systems installed at yards usually works at lower speeds and are capable of higher accuracies.
