Typical Applications
A three-module system would use one of each module. Scales
requiring more than three modules use additional free sliding
modules. Figure 2-16 is a typical example of a six-module system.
The fixed pin module fixes the vessel in the corner, allowing it to
rotate about the loading pin only. The vessel will expand outward
from this corner. The side stop module placed at the opposite end
keeps the vessel in check but does not restrict the expansion. The
use of four free-sliding modules ensure that the vessel’s expansion/
contraction is unrestricted in either direction.
