Sartorius 36201S Balance 100G-15000G

• Weighing bulk materials in laboratory settings where high capacity and fine resolution are simultaneously required.
• Industrial research and development for precise measurement of larger samples or components.
• Formulation tasks requiring accurate weighing of ingredients up to several tens of kilograms with 0.1g granularity.
• Quality control checks for heavy vessels or totes where precise weight monitoring is critical.
• Inventory management of high-value bulk materials needing accurate weight records.

Typical capacity range

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 10 kg to 60 kg, with this unit specifically offering up to 36.2 kg.

Readability

Units of this type typically offer readability of 0.1 g (100 mg), providing precision for larger loads.

Weighing pan size

Commonly found on units of this capacity, the weighing pan is typically around 400 mm x 300 mm, suitable for larger items.

Power supply

These balances typically operate on standard mains power, commonly 230V AC, 50Hz for the UK market.

Calibration

Many high-capacity precision balances require external calibration using certified weights.

Construction materials

Weighing pans are typically stainless steel, with the balance housing often made from durable plastics or painted metal.

• What is the primary difference between this and a standard analytical balance?

  This unit is a high-capacity precision balance, designed for much heavier loads (tens of kilograms) with good readability (0.1g). Standard analytical balances typically handle much smaller samples (grams to hundreds of grams) with significantly higher readability (micrograms to milligrams).

• Is this balance suitable for ultra-micro weighing?

• What kind of environment is best for this balance?

• Does this unit come with calibration weights?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of balance?

Precision and portable balances are valued for their accuracy and reliability across laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically seek models with proven calibration stability and minimal drift over time. When purchasing used equipment, industry practice emphasises checking calibration certificates, verifying display functionality, and confirming availability of replacement parts. These instruments are generally regarded as durable workhorses that perform well if properly maintained. Key strengths include repeatability, compact design for space-constrained labs, and compatibility with existing analytical workflows.
