Description
PTB 4602i Polaris Precision Balance is a laboratory weighing instrument offering a maximum capacity of 4600 g with a readability of 0,01 g. Its weighing pan measures 185 x 185 mm, giving ample surface area for samples, beakers and containers used in everyday laboratory work. Available as a single piece, this precision balance from manufacturer AE Adam is intended for accurate mass determination in scientific and technical environments. The combination of a 4600 g capacity and 0,01 g readability supports preparation, formulation and general weighing tasks that demand finer resolution at higher loads. The square pan geometry of 185 x 185 mm helps accommodate larger vessels while preserving measurement precision. Laboratories working with reagents, samples or components up to 4600 g can rely on the clear specification set of the PTB 4602i Polaris model for routine precision weighing. The instrument forms part of the Polaris range and is supplied ready for integration into standard laboratory workflows that require dependable capacity and readability values.

Questions about PTB 4602i Polaris Precision Balance — 4600 g — 0.01 g
What is this article?
PTB 4602i Polaris Precision Balance — 4600 g — 0.01 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.
