Compression Load Cells
Compression load cell testing equipment from Hydro-Wates measures compressive force for weighing equipment and structures, verifying the output of hydraulic rams and presses, and other applications requiring precise compression measurement.
Hydro-Wates®. maintains an extensive inventory for load cell rental and sale, ranging from .5 Ton to 1,000 Ton capacity, both hard-wired and wireless, which are lightweight, highly accurate (better than +/- 0.10 %), and capable of operating where space is limited.
Our compression load cells are calibrated annually and are provided to customers complete with calibration certificates, which detail instrument accuracy. All of our load cells have been calibrated and tested on testing machines meeting the standards for force measuring instruments established by the American Society for Testing & Materials – International (ASTM), E4 and E74 procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hydro-Wates maintains an inventory of compression load cells ranging from 0.5 ton to 1,000 ton capacity, in both hard-wired and wireless configurations.
Yes. Hydro-Wates offers compression load cells for both rental and sale, so you can choose short-term rental for a single test or purchase equipment for ongoing use.
Accuracy is better than +/- 0.10%. Every load cell is calibrated annually and provided with a calibration certificate detailing instrument accuracy, tested to ASTM E4 and E74 procedures.
Typical applications include aerospace (weighing aircraft), manufacturing (verifying hydraulic press output), construction (weighing structures and determining center of gravity), jacking force measurement, and structural proof load testing.
The load cells are environmentally sealed to IP67, built with stainless steel construction, and paired with a handheld wireless display offering over 800 hours of battery life on industrial AA batteries. They measure force in pounds or metric tons, and software is available to monitor output from up to 100 individual load cells at once.
