Description
Precision balance PR523/E is a single-range laboratory instrument for routine workplace weighing, delivering a maximum capacity of 0,52 kg with 0,001 g readability and 0,001 g repeatability. It incorporates a 120 mm diameter removable stainless-steel pan together with a removable glass draft shield featuring a sliding top cover. Core applications cover simple weighing, parts counting and percent weighing. A backlit LCD ensures clear visibility, while the included RS232 interface supports data transfer. The robust construction uses an ABS upper housing, built-in underfloor weighing hook, security loop and adjustment lock. Selectable environmental filters and brightness levels, automatic taring, automatic dimming, user-definable span adjustment points, software lockout/reset menu, customisable communication and print settings, project and user IDs, plus overload/underload and stability indicators complete the feature set. External adjustment is provided, with a typical USP minimum weight of 2 g (0,1 %). Overall dimensions are 201 mm width, 317 mm depth and 303 mm height at a net weight of 6,6 kg. This PR Series Precision model from manufacturer Ohaus is engineered for dependable daily laboratory use.

Questions about Precision Balance PR523/E
What is this article?
Precision Balance PR523/E 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.
