Abstract
Weighing apparatus including plural load cells. The load cells have parallel-connected inputs and outputs. The paralleled load cells are connected to a voltage measuring instrument through intrinsic safety barriers. The internal resistances of the load cell are selected such that excitation current limitations imposed by the intrinsic safety barriers are not exceeded and that the load cell output voltage variation accompanying a one grad change in the weight applied to the apparatus is great enough to be measurable by the instrument.
