Does Hardy have high temperature load cells?

I'm having problems with my Hardy load cells and I think it is caused by high temperature, does Hardy have a load cell rated for higher temperatures?

Hardy Advantage load cell's temperature operating range is -35 to +75 degrees C.   Higher or lower temperatures will damage the load cells.  The compensated weighing range is -10 to +40 degree C and the load sensor will operate within our published tolerances within that range.  We have a select few non-Advantage load cells that have a top temperature range of +200 degrees C, but they are specially built load cells. When ordering a high temperature load cell contact Hardy technical support for the correct part number. There is an additional cost for these specials and they are not in stock, so you would need to allow for long lead times. Please consult with your local Hardy Sales Representative for further information.

The temperature on the load cell must not exceed the rated temperature. The normal cause of temperature related weighing problems is expansion of the vessel and piping that exceeds the flexibility of the structure. This creates forces which add or subtract causing weighing errors. If the temperature rating is exceed for the load cell the cable is usually cooked before there is any damage to the load cell strain gauge.   High temperature load cell have Teflon cables that can withstand long term exposure to heat.

Calibrate the scale at temperature to reduce any linearity changes in the load cell due the temperature.

Some things to check if you are having temperature related symptoms: 

Verify there are not any binds that can cause the weight to change.

Does the bin weigh correctly when cold?

As the bin's temperature increases do you see a gradual weight change?  This could be mechanical binding or load cell, usually mechanical.

This would be the same troubleshooting as if your vessel did not repeat correctly. The mounting hardware must be specialized to allow mechanical movement due to heat and cold.
