    Measure Pressure
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a specialized scale that accurately measures dynamic pressure exerted by a user, particularly during activities like pulling body weight down on a counter. The user specifies the requirement for immediate readings, distinguishing it from standard household digital scales that have delayed responses. Recommendations include consulting with retailers specializing in industrial scales for expert guidance on suitable products.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pressure measurement concepts
  • Familiarity with industrial scales and their applications
  • Knowledge of dynamic versus static weight measurement
  • Basic principles of force measurement in laboratory settings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research types of industrial scales suitable for dynamic pressure measurement
  • Explore the specifications of force gauges and load cells
  • Learn about real-time data acquisition systems for pressure measurement
  • Investigate manufacturers of laboratory scales that provide immediate readings
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers, product designers, and anyone involved in selecting or utilizing scales for measuring dynamic forces in industrial or laboratory environments.

I'm trying to find a certain type of scale that will measure the pressure I exert on it but I'm not really an expert on scales. I need one that will easily read the amount of pressure when I'm grabbing a counter or something and pulling my body weight down upon it. So I need one that can measure forces a lot higher just my weight. And the other stipulation for it is that it needs to be able to be read as I'm pushing down on it such as scales in labs that measure weights or chemical samples and not like a standard household digital weight scale that takes a few seconds to figure out your weight. If anyone could help me with this or even lead me on the right track that would be awesome.

I think you should contact someone from a store that sales industrial scales and talk to them. They should be able to help you figure out what you need.
