# Industrial Specification: Load Cell Scale

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision weighing device that uses load cells to measure the weight of beverage ingredients in an automated dispensing system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-500 kg with 0.05% FS accuracy**. Failure boundary: **150% of rated capacity (750 kg) causes permanent strain gauge deformation**, Mechanism: **Exceeding the elastic limit of the strain gauge material (typically Constantan alloy with 0.2% proof stress of 200 MPa) leads to plastic deformation and calibration loss**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Combined Measurement Uncertainty**:

> **Primary Equation**: $u_c = \sqrt{\sum u_i^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Defines the precision confidence interval for inspection.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
