WEIGHING EQUIPMENT}, address = {Fort Worth, Texas}, abstract = {This paper has been written to more specifically define the use of electronic weighing equipment for industry; and, in particular, the aircraft industry. The primary systems used by airlines are the load cell kits which fit on top of aircraft jacks. The newer systems are platform scales, onto which the aircraft is towed. The platform scales are used specifically for not only total weight and center of gravity, but also calibration of the on-board weighing equipments found primarily in the new wide-bodied aircraft. Additional electronic scale systems are now being installed for the cargo weighing, as well as individual baggage and sorting systems within the terminal. This is to assist direct computer input and data enhancement. The application of the new electronic scales is very important; primarily because they are portable, they have accuracies of .l\%, and they can be easily used in different locations by inexperienced operators. A bad weight is typically worse than none at all; therefore, the application and use of the electronic scales is of great importance. At stake is the optimum use and safety of aircraft. }, keywords = {09. Weighing Equipment}, url = {https://www.sawe.org/papers/1034/buy}, author = {Fryer, S J} }
