Description
Mechanical scale 1450-SD is a dual-pan Harvard Trip™ balance built for straightforward comparative and general laboratory weighing. Integrated sliding weights make weighing simple and fast, while magnetic damping reduces oscillation so the beam settles more quickly. A balance knob enables rapid zero adjustment, and agate bearings support accurate mechanical readings over continued use. The weighing range is fully resolving (single range) with a maximum load of 2 kg and a resolution of 0,0001 kg. Each pan has a diameter of 152 mm, giving ample surface for sample containers in teaching labs, prep rooms, and routine quality checks. Overall dimensions are approximately 140 mm width, 160 mm height, and 240 mm depth, with a net weight of 2,4 kg. Display electronics are not included; readout is mechanical. This Ohaus instrument suits comparison weighing and everyday mass determination where robust, power-independent operation is preferred. Supplied as a single unit, it integrates easily into existing mechanical-balance workflows without reliance on unverified digital performance claims.
This article is part of Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.

Questions about Mechanical Scale, 1450-SD
What is this article?
Mechanical Scale, 1450-SD 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.
Which category should I open next?
