FIG. 6-1 MECHANICAL INSPECTION
All pipes and conduits
flexible?
Mechanically isolated
from ladders and
connecting structures?
1)
Floors or structure does not interact.
2)
Local traffic does not interact
3)
Protected from forklifts and adjacent processing equipment
Are the load cells properly
mounted?
Are Check rods installed
to dampen vessel
movement?
1)
Protects the load cells from overload and impact forces
2)
Limits the movement of the vessel
3)
Rods must be loose and not interacting with the vessel.
Are cables routed
properly?
1)
Product, tools and production aids are off the vessel.
2)
No workers are physically on the scale
3)
Must protect equipment from environmental damage
4)
Insure openings are sealed to keep water and environmental
contaminates from damaging:
(a)
Instrument cabinet or enclosure
(b)
Summing card
(c)
Load Cells
(d)
Conduit runs
(e)
covers are properly installed
1)
Keep flexures on the horizontal
2)
Vertical flexures should be avoided
3)
Do not use flexures to correct for misaligned piping
4)
Do not use hose flexures to make right angle bends
5)
Non-flexed piping should have an unsupported
horizontal run using a ratio of 36 times it's diameter.
6)
Pipe flexure lengths should be a ratio of 6 times it's diameter
7)
Feed and discharge piping flexed
8)
Are the flex joints on the correct side of the valve ?
(a)
You weigh the output valve, not the input valve
(b)
Does the weigh scale see all the product to be
weighed?
(c)
If the product applies a force to a valve or pipe, that .
pipe or valve must be included in the weigh vessel.
(d)
Proper positioning of the flexures are key.
(e)
Your vessel must seem to float.
1)
Separate conduit for low and high voltage cables.
2)
Do not bundle Low voltage with High voltage cables
3)
Maintain at least 3 inches of seperation.
4)
Maintain 14"seperation from magnetic fields and 440 vac.
5)
Cables are in conduit or tied up and protected from damage.
1)
Level, solid mounting base
2)
The load cell is mounted right side up.
3)
All load cell bolts installed using anti-seize compounds.
4)
Mechanically aligned to compensate for expansion and
contraction.
