What are the moisture-proof methods for load cells

What are the methods to protect the load cell from moisture?

For the moisture resistance of the load cell, we have the following methods:

1. Encapsulate the resistance strain gauge, that is, cover the strain gauge with waterproof material.

2. To control the environment or create a low humidity environment, it is necessary to prevent moisture from entering the sealed load cell.

3. It is necessary to ensure a high-quality composite waterproof seal to keep the sensor's components unaffected under the entire operating temperature and have a small permeability. The high-quality load cell cable tightly combines the conductor and the shell to prevent moisture from entering the inside through the cable core.

4. Welding and sealing, glass and metal cable joints are sometimes effective. After these treatments, the moisture resistance of the load cell is greatly guaranteed.

Nowadays, many load cells are not only moisture-proof, but many require waterproofing. For example, some sensors need to work underwater. At this time, only moisture-proof is not enough. They must be waterproof. This requires the sensor to have higher sealing performance. When choosing a waterproof sensor, you must know whether the manufacturer's production capacity can produce a waterproof sensor, so as to avoid inconvenience in future use.
