Frequently asked questions
Common questions about B-TEK from 3G Electric.
What capacities and platform sizes are available in B-TEK drum scales?
B-TEK drum scales in the 3G Electric catalog include models with 2,500 lb capacity and 0.5 lb readability. Platform sizes include 24 in x 24 in and 30 in x 30 in. Platform materials include stainless steel and carbon steel. Weighing units vary by model and can be lb, lb/oz, or kg. Connection ports include RS-236, RS-237, and indicator cable, depending on the specific part number. These scales are used for weighing drums, containers, and other heavy items in industrial settings.
What is the capacity and configuration of B-TEK wheel and axle scales?
B-TEK wheel and axle scales listed by 3G Electric have a 60,000 lb capacity, a 36-inch weighing surface depth, and a 6-inch overall height. They include an LCD display and are designed to weigh individual axles of trucks and trailers. The low 6-inch height allows vehicles to roll onto the weighing surface without a raised approach. These scales are used in logistics, transportation, and industrial facilities to verify axle loads and load compliance.
What are the specifications of the B-TEK 1-SP4MC3/50KGU-1 single point load cell?
The B-TEK 1-SP4MC3/50KGU-1 is a single point load cell with a 110 lbf capacity. It has an IP66 protection rating, a 1/4-20 coarse thread, and overall dimensions of 1.5 in height, 5.9 in length, and 1.6 in width. The IP66 rating indicates protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for industrial environments where washdown or moisture may be present. It is used in industrial scale and force-measurement applications where a compact single-point load cell is required.
How do I select the right B-TEK drum scale for my application?
Selection depends on the drum or container size, weight capacity, platform material, and connection requirements. B-TEK drum scales are available with 24 in x 24 in or 30 in x 30 in platforms, 2,500 lb capacity, and 0.5 lb readability. Choose stainless steel for corrosive or washdown environments, or carbon steel for general industrial use. Connection options include RS-236, RS-237, and indicator cable. Weighing units can be lb, lb/oz, or kg. Confirm the footprint fits your drum and that the connection matches your indicator or data system.
What connection ports are available on B-TEK drum scales?
B-TEK drum scales in the 3G Electric catalog include models with RS-236, RS-237, and indicator cable connection ports. The connection type determines how the scale interfaces with an indicator, printer, or data-collection system. RS-236 and RS-237 are serial communication ports, while indicator cable connects directly to a compatible weight indicator. Buyers should match the connection port to their existing indicator or control system to ensure compatibility.
