Weighty project!

<< < (3/3)

Hmmm, a hydraulic pancake loadcell. Nice work, and probably well accurate enough for what your intended use is.

If you have a scale company around that calibrates loadcells, they could probably confirm your pressure reading against a known deadload.

Good thinking.  :beer:

  I thought all shipping containers  had their empty weight marked on them?

Yes it did Ron, since painted over.  Besides, this was a refrigerated container and that equipment has been removed so the tare weight would no longer be applicable, plus there is quite a bit of stuff in it already.

The real aim of this exercise is to avoid loading it past the weight for the cheapest shipping rate .

I can not think of such a place right now but I could easily take it to someone with a workshop press and confirm I am not grossly out of range.

John,

I'm just about ready to make some of these, but unfortunately your pics have gone missing..... any chance they could be resurrected?

Ta in advance!
