2.4.4 Ratio of largest capacity to the nearest smaller capacity

When the ratio of the largest capacity load cell in each group to the nearest smaller capacity having been selected for test is greater than 5, then another load cell shall be selected. The selected load cell shall have a capacity between 5 and 10 times that of the nearest smaller capacity load cell which has been selected. When no capacity meets this criterion, the selected load cell shall be that having the smallest capacity exceeding 10 times that of the nearest smaller capacity load cell which has been selected.
