Ideally, this output should remain stable regardless of environmental conditions. However, changes in temperature can cause slight dimensional and electrical changes within the load cell.<\/p><p>For example, if a load cell is calibrated at room temperature and subsequently exposed to a much colder or hotter environment, its zero output may change.
