Furnishes design criteria conducive to simplified specifications and provides recommendations for installation, calibration, and maintenance of continuous belt, weighbridge-type scales. This recommended practice provides an effective base of comparison for scale suppliers, establishes minimum values, and ensures that a scale specification and purchase incorporates the essentials to satisfy a particular weighing job. It permits early belt conveyor design, with the full knowledge of the weigh scale configuration, regardless of the manufacturer.

Presents abbreviations and fundamental conversion factors commonly used in manometry, recommended definitions of pressure in terms of a column of mercury and water, and, for a large number of liquids, tables of various pressures indicated by, or equivalent to, heights of columns at various temperatures.

Formerly S37.6-1982(R1995). Establishes uniform minimum specifications for design and performance characteristics; uniform acceptance and qualification test methods, including calibration techniques; uniform presentation of minimum test data; and a drawing symbol for use in electrical schematics for potentiometric pressure transducers.

Formerly S37.3-1982(R1995). Establishes uniform minimum specifications for design and performance characteristics; uniform acceptance and qualification test methods, including calibration techniques; uniform presentation of minimum test data; and a drawing symbol for use in electrical schematics for strain gage pressure transducers.
