INTERFACE TECH TALK Vacuum

Are Load Cells Used in Vacuum Environments?

Interface provides load cells thare can be used in a vacuum environment. However, not all load cells are created equal or suited for this specialized use case. Vacuum testing labs are used by a variety of industries, including aerospace, medical, and defense. These labs are common for material process testing and used in R&D. Vacuum testing helps to identify potential problems with products and materials before they are used in a vacuum environment. Using quality load cells that are manufactured by force measurement experts in sensor technologies and experienced in working with vacuum testing labs and experts is an important consideration.
WIND TUNNEL TESTING 1

Interface Supports Wind Tunnel Testing

Interface is a supplier of measurement solutions used for aircraft and wind tunnel testing. Wind tunnel systems are used to gather data across a variety of tests related to the aerodynamics of a vehicle’s design. Whether an object is stationary or mobile, wind tunnels provide insight into the effects of air as it moves over or around the test model. Beyond airplanes and flying vehicles, wind tunnels are also used for testing automobiles, bicycles, drones and rockets.
RIGGING ENGINEERS

Rigging Engineers Choose Interface Measurement Solutions

Interface supports rigging engineers who design, plan, and oversee the rigging of heavy loads by providing high accuracy measurement solutions. The use of load cells to measure the weight of heavy loads, such as cranes, ships, rockets, theater equipment and machinery is on the rise. Rigging engineers use the data from load cells, load pins, load shackles, and tension links to ensure that the loads are not overloaded and that the rigging systems are properly designed for each use case. This often requires pairing the high accuracy sensor with instrumentation, and for versatility wireless telemetry systems are useful for rigging engineers.
