We can verify the accuracy of your load cell and
certify it in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2193.

Water Weights

Water Weights bags are for providing a load, in place of dead weights, for load testing, crane load testing, crane commissioning, Davit testing, life boat testing, Pad Eye testing or ballasting for industrial and off shore marine applications. The Water Weights system was the first to allow safe and practical use of water as a weight for load testing and we stock various size bags to suit loads up to 600 tonne. Water Weights bags are made in standard sizes, but specific bags can be manufactured to any practical shape or size. We ensure the load is measured with a certified load cell allowing for 1% accuracy where required and the bags themselves are fully tested to a minimum of 1.5 times their rated capacity.
