Introduction Introduction The RL1800 Series Weigh Module is designed to accommodate normal vessel expansion in all directions while still exercising self-checking capabilities. The center-pivoting, tension-loading design incorporates spherical washers and a unique pivoting trunnion that self-restores to its center position. Vessel leveling and adjusting can easily be done with the center loading bolt, and the load cell can be replaced without raising the vessel. -
