digital weight scale
PostPosted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 3:17 am     Reply with quote

hello. I want to design an electronic blood donor scale.
I'm having problem in searching full circuit diagram for digital weighing circuit in which can convert weight (g/kg) to volume (ml).

And if possible, is there any coding for PIC microcontroller that convert weight to volume? tQ.

Er.
Provided you have the specific gravity of what you are weighing, it is a simple multiplication/division. Otherwise it is impossible.

With blood, it'll vary with some medical conditions, but is typically 1.0621.
1062.1kg/m^3

Which quantity (mass or volume), do you actually want?

What signals/data do you have available from existing hardware?

Other questions like what resolution, granularity and accuracy do you need?
Those issues come to mind too.

another Q. How the weighing is done.
Commercial units(some/most/all?) actually compute the volume of blood collected then shut off the flow(google 'electronic blood donor scale').
