ABSTRACT:
A device for testing heavy capacity scales by providing a means for accurately loading such scale platforms by using a simple load cell incorporating column thruster reacting against the scale deck or platform said column being restrained by the scale baseplate supports or from the foundation footings. The column is kept vertical and the load cell output gives an accurate readout of the load applied to the platform. The procedure consists of loading locally over each platform support point to a loading value equal to the maximum load that each support point would experience under the worst condition of full capacity loading. By using this system electronic scales can be calibrated and subsequently checked for accuracy and recalibrated by adjusting the individual support load cell outputs. Mechanical scales can be also tested using this device and procedure and are adjusted as if the said column thruster were stacked dead weight test weights.
