The DMA Measuring eye has been particularly designed
for use as a low priced vessel level measuring system. With very little
effort it can be retro-fitted into existing structures permitting gravimetric
level measurement to be realized. Other possible applications are, for
instance, pre-assembled measuring supports or beams, and overload protection
for cranes.
The DMA is made entirely of stainless steel. The knurled pressing in
area on its circumference transmits the deformations of the supporting
structure to a web equipped with strain gauges. Measuring body and cable
outlet are connected by laser welding which produces a hermetical sealing
effect.
The DMA is pressed into the supporting structure of the vessel to be
measured. When the supporting structure is loaded, the resulting deformations
generate a voltage changes proportional to the applied load.
