Custom Weighing Solution for Oil & Gas Applications

In a recent project, we partnered with a leading Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in the Oil & Gas industry to develop a custom weighing solution for a natural gas desander vessel operating in harsh conditions. Our team engineered a robust single-ended stainless steel shear beam load cell system, which included custom cabling and a custom heavy duty swivel foot assembly for precise leveling. This innovative solution provided the accuracy and durability needed to ensure reliable performance in extreme environments.
The challenges faced by the OEM included operating under varying temperatures, high pressures, and exposure to corrosive elements. Our solution featured advanced strain gauge technology and environmental sealing to withstand these conditions. Additionally, the system seamlessly integrated with the desander’s control systems, allowing real-time data transfer and monitoring, thus optimizing the desander's performance and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Through close collaboration and innovative design, we addressed these challenges and delivered a weighing system that significantly improved the operational efficiency of the desander. This project exemplifies our expertise in creating tailored solutions for demanding industrial applications.

Massload designs and manufactures complete grain cart scale solutions including rugged load cells for hopper and pintle hitch, scale instrumentation and power conditioners.
Here are some of the main advantages of this application:
Weight Measurement: Load cells are integrated into grain carts to measure the weight of the grain as it is harvested and loaded. This allows for real-time monitoring of harvest yields, which is crucial for optimizing the distribution and storage of grains.
Overload Protection: By monitoring the weight of the load continuously, load cells help prevent overloading of grain carts. This is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of both the grain carts and the tractors pulling them. Overloading can lead to mechanical failures and can also be unsafe on uneven terrains typical in agricultural fields.
Data Collection for Precision Agriculture: The data collected from load cells can be used in precision agriculture analytics. By understanding yield variations across different sections of a field, farmers can make informed decisions about seed planting, fertilization, and irrigation. Furthermore, this data can be used to verify yield monitors on combine harvesters.

In the concrete mixer OEM industry, load cells are essential for ensuring the quality and efficiency of concrete production. Here are some key applications:
Ingredient Measurement: Load cells are used to accurately measure the weight of each component (sand, aggregates, and cement) that goes into the concrete mix. This precision is crucial for maintaining the consistency and quality of the concrete, ensuring that each batch meets specific strength and durability requirements.
Batch Control: By integrating load cells into the control systems of concrete mixers, manufacturers can automate the batching process. This ensures that the correct proportions of materials are used every time, reducing human error and increasing efficiency.
Overload Protection: Load cells provide feedback on the total weight of the mix inside the drum, preventing overloading that can lead to mechanical failures or suboptimal mixing. This not only protects the equipment but also ensures that the mixer operates within its optimal capacity.
Massload offers a range of high quality industrial grade low profile rigid mount load cells for a variety of batch plant equipment including concrete manufacture.
The most popular requests are the low profile rigid mount load cells, including the ML-1200-25,000 lbs/35,000 lbs and the ML-0600-5,000 lbs/10,000 lbs.

In the natural gas desander OEM industry, load cells play an important role in ensuring efficient and safe operations. Here are some specific applications of load cells in this industry:
Accumulation Measurement: Load cells are crucial for measuring the accumulation of solids within the desander. This information is vital for determining when the desander needs to be cleaned or when the accumulated material needs to be disposed.
Overload Protection: Overloads can occur due to unexpected increases in the amount of solids in the gas stream. Load cells can provide real-time data to alert operators if the system is nearing its capacity, which helps in taking preventative actions to reduce the risk of damage or system failure.
Pressure and Flow Monitoring: Load cells can be integrated into the system to help monitor the pressure and flow rates of the gas and sand mixture. By measuring the forces exerted by the mixture on various components of the desander, operators can adjust process parameters to optimize efficiency and prevent blockages or excessive wear.
Quality Control and Testing: During the manufacturing and testing phases, load cells are used to ensure that gas desanders meet the required specifications for handling the expected loads and operational conditions.
Massload offers industrial grade custom load cells, including for hazardous environments, and heavy duty weigh modules for a variety of OEM equipment in the oil and gas industry.
