Measuring the weight of a beehive

Clemens:
The most load cells are temperature compensated, I don't know how problematic creep is. For the accuracy we need to measure hive weight is seems to be not problematic. But please read the whole thread there are useful information and a hint to use not 3 wire load cells.

If you're talking about "creep" due to changes in temperature, yes, a three-wire load cell used singly will not be accurate. When you use them in pairs, however, the temperature effects are equal within each three-wire load cell, the change in resistance in the strain gauges will be cancelled out, and the "creep" isn't an issue -- or at least no different than a four-wire load cell.
