Weighing and force measurement,
engineered for your industry
Every industry pushes weighing in a different direction, searing heat and dust on a mine site, washdown and hygiene in food and pharma, explosive atmospheres in chemical plants, shock and salt water offshore, legal-for-trade accuracy on a weighbridge. A sensor built for one rarely survives the others.
BLH Nobel adapts the same proven chain, load cell, weigh module, instrument and software, all built in-house, to the demands of each. The result is accurate, repeatable measurement that keeps running in the environments that defeat ordinary equipment, field-proven in more than 100 countries.

Industrial weighing, explained
Which industries does BLH Nobel serve?
BLH Nobel provides weighing and force measurement solutions for metal and steel, mining, offshore and subsea, pulp and paper, food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, crane weighing and custom/OEM applications — supplying load cells, weigh modules, instruments and software adapted to each sector's conditions and approvals.
What weighing solutions does BLH Nobel offer for the metal and steel industry?
For metal and steel, BLH Nobel covers the whole plant: billet and coil weighing, coke weighing plants, cold mill strip tension, cold rolling mill and tilting rotary furnaces, converter weighing, hot rolling mills, ladle and tundish weighing, scrap and ladle-car weighing, and crane weighing — all engineered to withstand the heat, dust and vibration of steel production.
Does BLH Nobel provide offshore and subsea load measurement?
Yes. Offshore and subsea applications include mooring, winch and crane load measurement, quick-release hooks, mud weighing, offloading load measurement, cable and pipe-lay systems and pressure transmitters — built for shock, salt water and demanding marine conditions.
Can BLH Nobel supply weighing for hazardous (ATEX/IECEx) areas?
Yes. Load cells such as the KIS series carry ATEX and IECEx certification, and amplifiers and instruments are available in Ex versions, including functional-safety configurations. The complete installation is always designed and certified for the specific zone.
How do you choose a weighing solution for a specific application?
Start with the application and environment: capacity and force type (compression, tension, shear), conditions (temperature, vibration, washdown, hazardous zone), the accuracy and approvals required, and how the data must reach your control system. Because BLH Nobel builds the load cell and the instrument, they can be matched as one system, and our engineers can specify the combination for you.
Find the right solution for your application
Whether you need a single load cell, a process instrument, or a complete system engineered to your process, our application engineers will help you specify it — and support it for its full lifetime.
