Balances & scales

Let the smallest quantity you weigh and the readability you need decide. An analytical balance weighs small amounts with fine readability and has a draft shield; see analytical balances. A precision balance covers grams to kilograms with coarser readability; see precision balances. Platform and industrial scales take heavy loads, such as drums or bulk containers. Check the readability and capacity on the product page. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

For routine checks you need test weights in an accuracy class that suits the readability of your balance; for the OIML class of a calibration weight, check the product page or the marking. Finer balances need a finer class. If your quality system asks for traceability, add a calibration certificate. Weights are in calibration and test weights; certificates and accessories in balance accessories, calibration and certificates. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.

A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
