6. Use only “hermetically sealed” load cells in washdown applications.
“Environmentally protected” load cells are not suitable for such applica-

frequently steam cleaned, or if the load cell is subjected to direct washdown,
a protective shroud for the weighing assembly is recommended. Proper
drainage is nescessary so the weighing assembly is not standing in water.
7. All support points should be equally stiff so that they deflect by the same
amount as the vessel is loaded.
