Weighing device for marine carbon dioxide steel cylinder system with a range of 0-200KG
Why do we have to use 'weighing' instead of looking at a pressure gauge?
CO ₂ is in a high-pressure state where gas and liquid coexist inside the steel cylinder (approximately 5.7 MPa at room temperature):
Inaccurate pressure gauge: As the temperature rises, the evaporation pressure of the liquid increases; The temperature decreases and the liquefaction pressure of the gas decreases. Pressure is not related to the remaining amount, a 5% leakage of pressure may still be normal.
Reliable weighing: As long as there is a leak (gas/liquid), the weight will definitely decrease and not be affected by temperature, which is a reliable method recognized by the national standard.
Portable/Handheld Scale (Fire Extinguisher Maintenance)
Purpose: Regular maintenance and weighing of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
Requirement: Range ≥ 50kg, accuracy 0.01kg (10g).
According to GB 50444, CO ₂ fire extinguishers must be weighed and inspected

Carbon dioxide filling scale (quantitative filling)
Purpose: Gas station to quantitatively charge CO ₂ into steel cylinders (such as 5kg, 10kg, 20kg specifications).
Core functions:
Automatic peeling, automatic zeroing
Automatically cut off the gas source and sound and light alarm when the weight is set
Data recording and prevention of overfilling

Core parameters (selection reference)
Range: Common 0~50kg, 0~100kg, 0~3000kg
Accuracy: Industrial grade ± 0.05~± 0.1kg; Fire extinguisher grade ± 0.01kg
Explosion proof: Chemical/gas stations require Exd II BT4 explosion-proof certification
Material: 304 stainless steel (anti-corrosion, waterproof, easy to clean)
Interface: RS485, Modbus, 4-20mA, switch alarm
Difference from CO ₂ concentration detector
CO ₂ weighing device: measures the total mass (remaining amount, leakage) inside the steel cylinder.
CO ₂ concentration detector: measures the concentration of CO ₂ in the air (ppm) for environmental safety and agricultural greenhouses.
The two have different purposes and cannot be interchanged.
