2. Weigh in motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigh_in_motion

   WIM systems can employ various types of sensors for measurement. The earliest WIM systems, still used in a minority of installations, use an instrumented existing bridge as the weighing platform. [38] [39] Bending plates span a void cut into the pavement and use the flexure as the wheel passes over as a measure of weight. Load cells use strain ...

3. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

   Balance scale set, with weights Scales used to measure the weight of fruit in a supermarket Weighing scale in use in Tokyo Digital kitchen scale, a strain gauge scale Weighing scale for a baby includes a ruler for height measurement. A scale or balance is a device used to measure weight or mass.

4. Load cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

   A strain gauge sensor measures the deformation of the elastic element, and the output of the sensor is converted by an electronic circuit to a signal that represents the load. Capacitive strain gauges measure the deformation of the elastic material using the change in capacitance of two plates as the plates move closer to each other.

Buoyant weight (solids) Eudiometer, pneumatic trough (gases) Flow measurement devices (liquids) Graduated cylinder (liquids) Measuring cup (grained solids, liquids) Overflow trough (solids) Pipette (liquids) If the mass density of a solid is known, weighing allows to calculate the volume.

7. Falling weight deflectometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_weight_deflectometer

   Data are acquired from various sensors for use in post-test analysis of pavement properties. Deflection sensors are used to measure the deformation of the pavement in response to the load pulse. In some FWDs the magnitude of the applied load pulse is an assumed constant value determined by system design; in others the force is measured by load ...
