Bolt-On Weighing Systems

Turn your existing Tank/Vessel/Structure into a scale. KM pioneered the popular bolt-on, strain gauge, sensor technology for continuous measuring of vessel weight. Bolt-on sensors measure the stress level changes in vessel supports caused by material movement and therefore are not fooled by side build-up, angles of repose or air pockets. Quickly and easily installed, this non-intrusive, cost-effective method is an excellent alternative to traditional level sensing.  
 
 

The original single-axis bolt-on strain gauge sensor for measuring the material in a wide range of bulk storage vessels.

When Microcells are bolted on to a vessel support member, it converts the vessel into a weighing system. No need to empty the vessel or take it out of production to install or service.
