The transducer must be protected against chemicals that could attack the transducer
body steel or the cable. With stainless steel force transducers, please note that acids and
all materials which release ions will also attack stainless steels and their welded seams.
Should there be any corrosion, this could cause the force transducer to fail. In this case,
appropriate protective measures must be implemented.
5.3 Deposits
Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to accumulate sufficiently to di­
vert some of the measuring force, thus invalidating the measured value (force shunt).
Notice
Measurement errors may be the result if dust or dirt is deposited inside the force trans­
ducer. The relevant areas are marked by arrows in Fig. 5.1.
The gap below the flange
face must not become
clogged with foreign
matter.
