TWO ENVIRONMENTS. DIFFERENT ENGINEERING.
Choose by exposure.
Then choose by force.
A washdown rating and an underwater depth rating answer different questions. Start with the actual working environment.

Submersible load cells
IP68 / IP69K
Hermetically sealed load cells
For food processing, dairy filling, pharmaceutical vessels and wet industrial weighing. Review laser-welded seals, cable exits and cleaning chemistry.

Sealed Washdown & Submersible Signal Accessories
Complete the measurement chain from wet sensor to control cabinet.
316L enclosures, specified cable jackets and connector mating pairsReview configurationBEYOND THE SENSING ELEMENT
Complete the wet-side
measurement chain.
A sealed body is one part of the system. Cable, connector and signal conditioning choices determine how the installation works in service.
Cable & wet-mate options
Specify FEP / PUR jackets, chemical exposure and the exact wet-mate connector series and mating half.
Washdown instrumentation
Include a 316L summing box and an appropriately rated indicator for multi-cell weighing.
Material selection
Compare 17-4PH, 316L, duplex stainless and Grade 5 titanium against media, temperature and design loads.
ENGINEERING SELECTION NOTE
IP68 / IP69K ≠ an unlimited depth rating.
Compare ingress protection, hermetic construction and hydrostatic pressure compensation before specifying a sensor.
