SBZ321 - Load Cell Calibration Practical Guide #TheUPWay

Описание

The SBZ321 load cell practical video guide is tailored to the third practical that will be conducted by the Civil Engineering students.
This covers the high-level functionality of the interconnected components, how to wire the load cell and how the calibration works with the hanger and weights. Graphing data is highlighted at the end of the video. Make sure to watch the video prior to the practical for a head start and to improve your knowledge on the subject. Refer to the accompanying study guide for additional information that will prove helpful in finishing the practical within the allocated time.
