5. Subtract the weight of the front axle from the weight of both axles to nd the weight of the
second axle
Repeat steps 3 - 5 if there are more than 2 axles on the vehicle until all axles have been
weighed
It is recommended that you copy or recreate the zero weights and span weights tables to
complete and calculate the weight values for each axle. See “Zero and span weights tables”
on page 69. See below for an example of this calculation.
It is recommended that the same weighbridge is used to take all weight measurements for
both the zero and span calibration processes.
Weighbridge Measurements Weight Calculation Axle Weight
a = 2000 Axle 1 = a 2000
b = 3500 Axle 2 = b - a 1500
c = 6000 Axle 3 = c - a 2500
The example above shows how each axle weight can be derived by subtraction using a
weighbridge.
