1.
Preparatory Steps:
Ensure all necessary equipment for weighing is in good working
condition (scales, load cells, etc.).
Verify the calibration status of the weighing equipment.
Ensure the weighing area is clear of debris and other potential
hazards.
Review the module load out plan and identify the specific
modules to be weighed.
2. Module Preparation:
Clean the module to remove any excess dirt or debris.
Remove any detachable parts or accessories that are not part of
the module's weight.
3. Weighing Procedure:
Position the weighing equipment on a stable surface, ensuring it is
properly leveled.
Set up the load cells or other weighing devices according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Verify that the weighing equipment is zeroed and ready for
measurements.
Lift the module using appropriate lifting equipment and attach it
securely to the weighing device.
Gradually release the module's weight onto the weighing device,
ensuring a stable and level position.
Allow sufficient time for the reading to stabilize before recording
the weight.
Repeat the weighing process for each module to be loaded.
4. Record Keeping:
Document the module's identification number or name.
Record the date and time of each weighing operation.
Document the weight measurement for each module accurately.
Ensure the recorded weights are clearly labeled and easily
traceable.
5. Verification and Documentation:
Cross-check the recorded weights with the load out plan or any
other relevant documentation.
Confirm that the measured weights fall within the acceptable
range specified in the load out plan.
Flag any significant discrepancies or abnormalities for further
investigation.
Complete and sign the weighing checklist, including the names
and signatures of personnel involved in the weighing process.
6. Post-Weighing Actions:
Remove the modules from the weighing equipment safely and
securely.
Return the weighing equipment to its designated storage area.
Clean and maintain the weighing equipment as required.
