The 1800 Platinum Standard series is an enhanced calibration grade Low Profile load cell that offers improved accuracy of performance and temperature characteristics. Additional gauges help improve the performance for best resolution at all capacities. The load cell thread adaptor, male or female, is now integral being machined from the same material as the load cell. The integral fitting removes any uncertainty of thread engagement which with a stiff flexure could otherwise cause poor non-repeatability at lower applied forces. The 1800 units are warranted to perform down to 2% of rated capacity per ASTM-E74 and every unit is supplied with a NIST traceable ASTM-E74 calibration certificate.
