Description
Mechanical Scale 311-00 is a precision mechanical laboratory balance in the Dial-O-Gram™ and Cent-O-Gram™ 300 Series, providing a full-range single weighing span with a maximum load of 0,311 kg and a resolution of 0,00001 kg. The stainless steel weighing pan measures 13 × 89 mm with a pan diameter of 89 mm and is intended for accurate mass determination without electronic display devices. Die-cast aluminium base and beam assembly, agate bearings, stainless steel knives and a stainless steel pan give the instrument a durable mechanical build. From manufacturer Ohaus, the three-point base support together with special tilt compensation in the bearings and beam construction makes leveling unnecessary. The self-aligning beam supports reliable, accurate results with clear readability for everyday laboratory and educational weighing tasks. Overall dimensions are 166 mm width, 249 mm height and 360 mm depth, and the net weight is 2,02 kg. Extremely accurate mechanical scales of this class are well suited to routine sample work where stable mechanical performance is preferred. Pack size is 1 pc.

Questions about Mechanical Scale, 311-00
What is this article?
Mechanical Scale, 311-00 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus 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.
