Abstract | As with weighing any large item, a successful weighing in the offshore oil industry requires decisions regarding many aspects of the process: o Detailed planning and coordination Defining the number of load-cells to be used requires an understanding of the capacity and uncertainty imitations of the devices, as well as the structural design of the Module. There is no formula available that determines the number of load-cells to employ for a weighing. This paper presents the factors to be reviewed and the mathematics to be used to determine the overall uncertainty of a weighing system. A basic checklist is also provided to assist the user when attending a weighing. Information in this paper is applicable for performing any weighing using a multiple load-cell system. |
