# How to Choose the Right Connector for Your Weighing Application in Powder Processing

Accurate weighing is critical in **powder processing**. The right connector ensures that your weigh-scales deliver consistent, reliable results—without unnecessary downtime or calibration issues.

While many assume that a **Weighing Bellows connector** is always required, that’s not the case. Depending on your process, alternatives like **Seeflex 040E, Seeflex 020E (with or without rings), and Flexi connectors** may be more suitable.

So, how do you decide which **BFM® fitting flexible connector** is right for your specific weighing application?

In this quick video, we break down the most important considerations when selecting a connector for weighing applications in powder processing, such as:

- Whether you’re using **loss-in-weight feeders**
- How **sensitive** your scales are
- If your process requires **breathability**
- Whether you’re operating under **pressure or vacuum**

These factors all play a vital role in determining whether a Weighing Bellows connector—or an alternative BFM® connector—will deliver the best results.

 

## Recommended Connectors for Weighing Applications

BFM® offers several specialist flexible connectors designed with weighing accuracy in mind:

- [Seeflex 040](https://www.bfmfitting.com/products/seeflex-040e-connector)E – a strong, transparent polyurethane connector suitable for many weighing setups.
- [Seeflex 020E ](https://www.bfmfitting.com/products/seeflex-020e-connector)– thinner and lighter than Seeflex 040E, with options for use with or without rings.
- [Weighing Bellows](https://www.bfmfitting.com/products/weighing-bellows) – designed specifically for highly sensitive weigh-scale applications.
- [Flexi Connectors ](https://www.bfmfitting.com/products/flexi-connector) – ideal where greater lateral flexibility is needed.
