Description
Portable compact balance series CQT with a capacity of 5000 g is a practical weighing solution for laboratory and scientific environments. Equipped with a stainless steel weighing plate, the instrument incorporates ShockProtect™ overload protection, which permits loading of up to 200 kg without damaging the weighing mechanism. Security is enhanced by the option to lock the balance using a chain and Kensington™ lock. Power can be supplied by six AA batteries or an AC adapter at 200-240 V / 50-60 Hz, while automatic shut-off helps reduce energy consumption. Results appear on a large backlit display that is sharp and quick to read. External dimensions measure 170 x 245 x 80 mm, and the net weight is 0,900 kg. For models fitted with a 120 mm weighing plate, a removable draft shield is included and the innovative design allows balances to be stacked for storage. Supplied with a handbook from manufacturer Labbox, the unit carries a three-year warranty. An optional manufacturer calibration certificate (BAAC-CAL-001) may be ordered together with the balance.

Questions about Compact portable balance CQT series, 5000 g, EU plug
What is this article?
Compact portable balance CQT series, 5000 g, EU plug is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Precision balances, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A precision balance reads more coarsely than an analytical balance, often 1 mg or 10 mg, and it takes a heavier pan load. It is the balance for preparing bulk reagents. Draft, level and a warm-up still move the last digit.
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.
