Description
PPB 823i Polaris precision balance is a laboratory precision scale with a capacity of 820 g and a readability of 0,001 g. Its circular weighing pan is 100 mm in diameter, providing a practical surface for sample boats, weighing papers, and small vessels used in daily analytical and preparation tasks. The instrument supports routine precision weighing in research, quality control, teaching, and general laboratory settings that require milligram-level resolution. It is supplied as 1 pc and fits standard bench layouts. The Polaris model PPB 823i from manufacturer AE Adam pairs an 820 g capacity with a fine 0,001 g readout and compact pan geometry for reproducible handling of powders, solids, and small components. Documented capacity, readability, and pan size help match the balance to common laboratory protocols. The 100 mm pan diameter keeps typical containers stable and easy to access during weighing. As laboratory equipment for precise mass determination, this unit focuses on the essential metrological parameters needed for controlled, everyday weighing work.

Questions about PPB 823i Polaris precision balance, 820 g, 0.001 g
What is this article?
PPB 823i Polaris precision balance, 820 g, 0.001 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes AE Adam 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.
