I am trying to find a way to weigh the contents in a small vial (the ones used when people get flu shots or vaccinations), for a automatic vial filling machine I am building.
I have been looking at load cells...but most of them are for large weights. I need something to measure increments of 1mL (1 gram for water). The load cell also has to be really small in order to fit into a 1 inch opening.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of stuff? Any suggestions? Also, how exactly would I convert readings from a load cell into weight?
Thanks,
Philip
