DI-60N Tank Weighing Systems

The DI-60N is an industrial-grade digital tank weighing scale series manufactured by Essae, with variants from distributors such as Up Scales and Weighing Solution. While designed for platform use, it is adaptable for tank weighing applications by using the four- or six-load cell versions, which offer robust stability and overload protection for heavy and bulky items.
Key technical specifications
- Capacity:Varies significantly depending on the configuration, with heavy-duty models reaching up to 5000 kg (5 tons). Tank weighing requires selecting the multi-load-cell setup appropriate for the vessel's total weight.
- Accuracy: Ranges from high precision for smaller capacities to larger divisions for heavy loads. Heavy-duty models can provide accuracy of 500g or 1000g for multi-ton loads.
- Weight sensor: Features single or multiple "High Precision Load Cells" to measure the applied weight. Multi-load-cell systems are necessary for tank weighing to ensure stability and precise readings.
- Display: A bright, 14mm green LED display with 6 digits provides high visibility, even from a distance or in low light.
- Processor: A microcomputer ensures efficient and precise weight processing.
- Calibration: Uses software calibration for accuracy adjustments.
- Power supply: Operates on a standard 230V, AC, 50Hz power supply, with optional internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs available for portable operation.
- Construction: The console is made of fully stainless steel, offering water resistance and protection against harsh industrial environments.
- Data output: Comes standard with an RS-232 interface and can be equipped with a Virtual COM port (USB) for connectivity with PCs and printers. An optional 4-20 mA analog output is available for process control and integration with other systems.
Configurations and variants for tank weighing
For weighing large vessels like tanks, the standard platform scale must be adapted by installing load cells under the tank's support legs. The DX-451 series offers several configurations suitable for this purpose:
- Four- or six-load cell system : This heavy-duty version provides enhanced stability for large, heavy, or unevenly distributed loads. It is critical for tank weighing to ensure that the weight is accurately captured from multiple points.
- DF-451 Flameproof (FLP) variant : A specialized model for hazardous environments, such as those found in chemical or oil and gas industries. It features an IP-65 rated, intrinsically safe console that is certified for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
- DX-451HP Water & Dust Proof variant : Designed for applications where the scale is regularly exposed to water and dust. This version complies with GMP standards and features a full stainless steel platform and an IP-67 rated load cell.
Advantages for industrial and tank applications
- Superior accuracy and stability: The high-resolution A/D converter ensures stable and precise measurements, which is crucial for inventory management and process control.
- Adaptable and rugged: Its robust construction and range of platform sizes and load cell options make it highly versatile for various industrial weighing tasks, including tank and silo weighing.
- Extensive connectivity: Multiple output options allow for seamless integration with existing industrial systems, printers, and computers for data tracking and automation.
- Reliable for trade: The series meets legal metrology standards in India, allowing certified models to be used in commercial transactions
