Load Ring and Load Cell are used to measure of the axial force applied to the specimen. Three different equipments are available to measure the axial force applied to the specimen:
- load proving rings (manual readings)
- load cells (automatic readings)
- submersible load cells (automatic readings and no friction effects)
Load Proving Ring
Mechanical equipment for manual reading. In order to avoid any overload damage, an electrical safety device is supplied to stop the loading process when the maximum capacity of the ring is reached.

Submersible Load Cells
Submersible electrical equipment for automatic reading.
The submersible load cell must be placed inside the cell and connected to the automatic data acquisition system model S334.
It is made of high quality materials. It is a sealed waterproof device with an excellent resistance to lateral forces.
It guarantees no friction effect of the ram.
It is strongly recommended when high accuracy in testing is required.
It must be equipped with the loading ram model S337-21.
Rated output: 2 mV/V
Nominal accuracy: 0.1%
Non-linearity: 0.05%.
