The Boss series of bolt-on strain sensors
from Applied Measurements provide a very
cost effective solution for many high
capacity tank and silo weighing
applications as well as finding application
in overload protection systems on cranes,
winches, lifts and presses.

The sensors are designed to be attached
directly to steel structures and are
capable of detecting tensile, compressive
and bending stresses.

Utilizing the latest strain gauge technology,
each sensor is manufactured from
specifically selected high grade alloy steel
with thermal coefficients of expansion
matched to structural steel. Unlike some
competitive units each sensor is temperature
cycled and compensated to minimize the
effects of temperature variation.
