Hydraulic scale for measurement of dynamometer and other forces

Author

John Richard Barton

Abstract

"The object of this investigation is to design, build, test, and develop, a hydraulic type scale primarily to be used for measuring dynamometer forces. The scale however is not limited to use on dynamometers, but may be used for other types of force measurements such as the continuous weighing of material on a conveyor belt in conjunction with a recording pressure gage. The scale has numerous applications in determining forces where conventional scales are now used. This particular subject was chosen because of the need for a convenient, inexpensive, and accurate scale for use in measuring the force exerted by an electric dynamometer in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy"--Introduction, page 1-2.
