1.5 Typical Application
The sample installations shown in Figure 4 demonstrate the basic principles
involved with module applications. Arrows by each mount indicate the directions
that the top plate for that mount can move. When arranged as illustrated, the posi-
tion of the vessel is fixed at one point by the fixed pin mount. The side stop mount
allows for thermal expansion/contraction in the direction of the arrows while
checking movement in other directions. Free sliding mounts allow for expansion
in all directions. This arrangement ensures that there is minimal binding or side
loading of the load cells. At the same time, the system is self-checking.

With tall, slender vessels or in areas with earthquake activity or high
winds, safety may require additional vessel restraints in the form of
stay rods or safety check rods.
