A.3 Segmented Roll Scale Factor (SRSF)
A.3.1 Simplified calculation of SRSF
A-4
Segmented Roll Scale Factor (SRSF) is used to compensate the total measured tension and
present an estimate of total tension when not all rolls are supported by load cells at both ends in
a segmented roll application.
The total force in the load cells measuring direction is F
number of installed load cells is less than the number of roll supports, the total measured force,
F will be less than F
Rmeasured
in those segmented roll applications, a segmented roll scale factor (SRSF) can be set.
T = F
estimate Rmeasured
Note: individual signals (Tension A, Tension B and so on) and difference signals (A-B, A-C,
D-AI2 and so on) are not multiplied with SRSF.
The following section describes how to calculate the SRSF.
In the examples are segmented rolls with four rolls used, but with the description below can
SRSF easily be calculated in other segmented roll applications.
If a segmented roll have more than one electronic i.e. more than four load cells, the SRSF must
be calculated separately for each electronic unit.
If N/m, kN/m, kg/m or pli is selected as presentation unit, the individual signals (Tension A,
Tension B and so on) and difference signals (A-B, A-C, D-AI2 and so on) are divided with the
set web width.

If all rolls have the same length and we neglect that the width of the web is less than the distance
between the end support points, the calculation can be done in the following way.
