Description
CDT 48 is a higher-capacity scale offering a weighing range of 48 kg with a readability of 2 g. It is intended for laboratory, workshop and technical environments where heavier loads must be determined with gram-level resolution suitable for bulk materials and larger containers. The weighing plate measures 225 x 275 mm and provides a robust rectangular surface for packages, vessels and process samples. Capacity and division together support checkweighing, portion control and general mass determination tasks that remain within the 48 kg limit and accept a 2 g step. The CDT 48 from manufacturer AE Adam is specified through these primary data points—load, readability and pan geometry—allowing straightforward comparison with other balances in the same class. The platform dimensions help stabilise typical containers used at higher loads while keeping a compact footprint for bench or table use. Supplied as one piece, the instrument fits equipment lists that need a clear heavy-duty scale defined solely by the stated 48 kg capacity, 2 g readability and 225 x 275 mm weighing plate.
This article belongs on Bench, platform & industrial scales, in Balances & scales.

Questions about CDT 48
What is this article?
CDT 48 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes AE Adam for laboratory use. It sits in Bench, platform & industrial scales, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A bench, platform or industrial scale takes kilograms to tonnes, with a platform instead of a small pan. Resolution is coarser. The load cell and the platform size are the specification. It is the scale for a drum or a packed goods check, not for a milligram of standard.
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.
