Description
Portable balance YA302 is a compact precision scale for portable laboratory and field weighing. It offers a maximum load of 0,3 kg with full-range single-range readability of 0,00005 kg and repeatability of 0,05 g, supporting fine weighing where space is limited. The stainless-steel pan measures 50 mm by 70 mm and is protected by a hinged cover plus a sturdy plastic housing that helps shield the instrument from everyday knocks. A blue-backlit LCD presents results quickly thanks to a very short settling time. The unit runs on two AAA batteries and includes a battery-level indicator together with automatic shut-off for efficient mobile use. External dimensions are about 110 mm width, 75 mm depth and 20 mm height, with a net weight of only 0,014 kg, so the balance travels easily in its compact case. Belonging to the YA Gold Series from manufacturer Ohaus, this portable balance suits routine precision weighing on the bench or away from mains power whenever a small, battery-operated instrument is required.

Questions about Portable Balance, YA302
What is this article?
Portable Balance, YA302 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.
