CO2 WEIGH BEAM ASSEMBLY

DESCRIPTION
The weigh beam assembly is a service tool that enables the system technician to determine the weight of
agent in a CO2 cylinder. The weigh beam is a one piece assembly that includes a lifting yoke, weigh beam and
easy-to-read scale.

OPERATION
To use a weigh beam, the cylinders must be located in a cylinder rack with a weighing track attached. The
flexible discharge bend must be removed from the cylinders to be weighed. The cylinder clamps should then
be removed or loosened to allow the cylinders to move freely.

The weigh beam is positioned for use by placing the eye hook over the weigh track and positioning the lifting
yolk under the valve.

The operator then lifts the cylinder by pulling down on the eye ring attached to the scale. The weight
reading is then determined by reading the scale once the cylinder is stabilized with the weigh bar in the
horizontal position as shown.
