Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of analytical balance, capacities commonly range from 100 g to 5000 g, with the Sartorius BP 2100 S typically offering up to 2100 g.

Readability

Units of this type commonly provide readability from 0.001 g to 0.1 g; the BP 2100 S model typically offers 0.01 g.

Power supply

Most analytical balances operate on standard mains power, typically 230V, 50Hz for the UK market, often via an external power adapter.

Pan size

The weighing pan on top-loading analytical balances is typically circular, with diameters ranging from 100 mm to 200 mm.

Calibration

Units commonly feature internal or external calibration capabilities to maintain accuracy.

Connectivity

Many balances of this type include a serial port (e.g., RS-232) for data transfer to a PC or the integrated printer.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between an analytical balance and a precision balance?

  Analytical balances offer higher readability (typically 0.0001 g to 0.01 g) and often feature a draft shield to protect against air currents. Precision balances have lower readability (typically 0.01 g to 1 g) and larger capacities.

• Is regular calibration necessary for this type of balance?

• What maintenance is typically required for an analytical balance?

• Can this balance be used in a dusty or humid environment?

• What kind of printer is typically integrated or compatible with this model?
