Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the specific model.

Readability

Units of this type typically offer readability from 0.001g to 0.1g, crucial for precision applications.

Pan size

Commonly found pan sizes vary, typically between 100mm and 300mm in diameter or square, to accommodate different sample volumes.

Power supply

Most units operate on standard mains electricity (230V AC, 50Hz in the UK) or can be battery-powered for portability.

Calibration

Often features internal or external calibration capabilities to maintain accuracy.

Interface

Many models include a digital display and may offer data output options such as RS232 for connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between analytical and precision balances?

  Analytical balances typically offer higher readability (e.g., 0.0001g) and usually have a draft shield, while precision balances have lower readability (e.g., 0.001g to 0.1g) and are used for less stringent accuracy requirements.
