1) Platform scales
When making a platform scale using a single-point load cell (LC4001 - LC4212), it is acceptable for the
weighing capacity of the scale to be equal to the rated capacity of the load cell. For instance, if we want
to make a scale with a capacity of 100 kg, we can use a load cell whose rated capacity is 100 kg.
However, the initial (tare) load must not exceed the safe tare limit (maximum dead weight) of the load
cell. If the initial load is very large, the rated capacity + the safe tare limit is treated as the rated
capacity
