This is a resistive strain gauge type load cell. It is designed to measure large compressive load or axial forces. The load cell is used extensively in pile testing. This load cell is similar to the ‘Sister Bar Strain Gauge’ unit. It has great resistance to extraneous forces and is protected against dust, moisture, and adverse environmental conditions. This increases the fatigue life, permits a less stringent mounting alignment and reduces the possibility of reading error.
