Description
Precision balance FX-500i is a single-range laboratory precision scale with 520 g capacity and 0,001 g readability. A durable full-metal housing, robust overload protection and shock-absorber function support reliable daily use. The compact Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) reaches stability in about one second, while the bright VFD display delivers clear, easily readable results. External calibration is initiated at the push of a button. Application modes encompass percentage weighing, piece counting, animal weighing, underhook weighing, density determination and the SCF statistics programme that compiles complete weighing statistics. A standard RS-232C interface is provided; optional USB without driver installation and LAN/Ethernet with WinCT-Plus software expand data handling. The B5 footprint, 130 mm weighing pan and draft shield keep the instrument compact on crowded benches. Auto power ON/OFF plus date and time functions aid routine operation. This model from manufacturer A&D Instruments is offered as one piece with a four-year warranty. Optional accessories include a rechargeable NiMH battery, transport case, carat weighing pan, animal container and tall draft shield for specialised tasks.

Questions about Precision Balance, 520g x 0,001g
What is this article?
Precision Balance, 520g x 0,001g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes A&D 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.
