Abstract
Weighing in vehicles is a well-known procedure in the case of determination of loaddistributions or rough quantities. For these purposes a very high accuracy is not necessary. For trade purposes quite different requirements apply, however. Lately in The Netherlands a grewing the need arised for weighing at the recipients place of bulk materials as forage, bakers1 flower and industrial gasses. Farmers want to know the weight of their fattened pigs before they are taken for slaughter. As not everybody has a weighbridge or another rather large weighing machine in his neighbourhood one looked for other solutions. Weighing in the delivery truck itself could give an answer to the problem. It appears that straingauge measurement and electronics together offer rather simple possibilities.
