CO₂ level gauge
Suitable for:
Fire department, industry, energy supply, fire protection, logistics, gas supply, CO₂ extinguishing systems, tank and special vehicles
The KWS CO₂ level scale enables precise weight measurement of CO₂ pressure cylinders and tanks directly on the vehicle. It is specifically designed for applications where the exact fill level is critical to safety, such as fire trucks, stationary fire suppression systems, or industrial gas supply systems.

Advantages
-
Level monitoring of the CO₂ cylinder pack after each use, with traceable consumption in kg.
-
Early detection of leaks in cylinders or hoses through continuous weight monitoring.
-
Weighing frame with multiple HK06 load cells for stable measurement even while the vehicle is in motion.
-
The main frame with load cells can be completely removed from the vehicle, allowing the cylinder pack to be filled outside the vehicle.
-
KWS provides support for the design and installation of the weighing frame with project-specific tips and documentation.
Technology
-
KT500 terminal for displaying the current fill level in the cab or on the body.
-
Multiple HK06 load cells, arranged in a circular pattern within the weighing frame, for optimal absorption of braking and cornering forces.
-
Load-bearing weighing frame rated for up to 1,500 kg total weight (cylinder package including frame).
-
Electrical connection via 24 V vehicle electrical system with its own 5 A fuse, shielded cables between load cells, junction box, and terminal.
Info
The KWS CO₂ level scale is specifically designed for the safe and precise weighing of CO₂ cylinders in fire trucks and industrial applications. The cylinders are securely mounted in a carrier system and continuously monitored via integrated load cells.
Weight measurement is performed using a differential method, allowing for precise tracking of fillings and withdrawals. The current fill level is displayed on the weighing terminal and can optionally be logged or printed.
An integrated tilt sensor ensures that reliable measurement results are delivered even when the vehicle is tilted. This makes the system ideal for use in mobile firefighting operations as well as in industrial safety applications.
Compared to pressure- or volume-based measurement systems, the CO₂ level scale offers significantly higher accuracy, minimal maintenance, and maximum operational reliability.
The scale is specifically designed for level monitoring and is not intended for commercial weighing requiring calibration.
