Description
CA-4001 compact balance is a laboratory weighing instrument with a capacity of 4000 g and a readability of 0,1 g, suited to routine sample preparation, formulation checks, and general precision weighing. The round weighing pan measures 145 mm in diameter, offering a practical surface for vessels and containers commonly used on the bench. An RS 232 interface supports data transfer to external systems, while external calibration allows the balance to be adjusted according to laboratory procedures. Typical measuring time is 2–3 seconds, supporting efficient workflows in teaching labs, quality control, and research environments. Supplied as a single unit, this compact balance from manufacturer Phoenix Instrument addresses everyday needs for reliable mass determination within the stated weighing range. It belongs among laboratory, precision, and fine balances used where moderate capacity and 0,1 g readability are sufficient for solid and liquid sample work without requiring analytical micro-range performance.
This article is part of Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.

Questions about Compact balance, Capacity 4000gr, Accuracy 0,1 gr
What is this article?
Compact balance, Capacity 4000gr, Accuracy 0,1 gr is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Phoenix Instrument 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.
