Which Rail Scale Do You Need?
In order to determine what kind of rail scale you need, you must know if you need a Legal for Trade rail scale or not. Legal for Trade certification ensures the weighing system is accurate to allow fair commerce using the weight from the scale. If you are going to sell a product based on the weight from your rail scale, you will definitely need a Legal for Trade scale.
If you plan on using your rail scale for weighing rail cars, tracking inventory, checking safe loads, and operating non-commercial filling operations, you do not need a Legal for Trade approval.
