Abstract:
1. A device for use in the temperature compensation testing of at least one digital load cell, comprising: a fluid-tight vessel for housing at least one digital load cell; a load cell receiver located in a base portion of said vessel and adapted to receive and releasably retain one end of said at least one digital load cell; at least one support plate located in said vessel and adapted to receive and releasably retain an opposite end of said at least one digital load cell; a fluid path for allowing the circulation of a temperature controlled fluid within said vessel; and an electronic communication path through a wall of said vessel for allowing communications between said at least one digital load cell and a device adapted to receive readings from said at least one digital load cell during testing; wherein said vessel containing said at least one digital load cell is adapted for placement in a load application device that applies a load to said at least one digital load cell during testing.
