How Load Cells Reveal Dead, Live, and Total Loads in Civil Engineering
Interface load cells are used to measure dead load, live load, and total load for civil engineers and architects to validate structures, long-term stability, and proven infrastructure performance under harsh environmental conditions. Interface force measurement sensors and supporting technologies are common in foundation tests, material fatigue testing, environmental tests and structural verifications.

Mounting Plates 101
Interface mounting plates are engineered support foundations designed to provide a stable and prepared surface for a load cell. They provide the solidity that ensures the sensor operates within its specified parameters. Mounting plates are machined to the tightest specifications and extremely low flatness tolerances. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a flat, smooth mating surface for the load cell, minimizing local deformation and maximizing measurement accuracy.
