Description
Portable balance CX221 EU is an energy-efficient Compass™ CX series instrument for workplace, classroom and outdoor weighing. It delivers a maximum load of 0,22 kg at a resolution of 0,0001 kg in a full-range single-range configuration. The weighing pan measures 128 mm in width by 142 mm in depth, while the compact housing is 135 mm wide, 201 mm deep and 41 mm high. A large backlit LCD display ensures results remain clearly legible even under poor lighting or from a greater distance. Alkaline-battery operation provides up to 1000 hours of continuous use, enabling energy-efficient weighing without frequent power changes. The slim design allows up to four units to be stacked for space-saving storage. With a net weight of 0,5 kg and gross weight of 0,7 kg, this portable balance from manufacturer Ohaus is well suited to both stationary bench work and mobile applications. Battery operation is supported and the power-supply designation is MYD231.

Questions about Portable Balance, CX221 EU
What is this article?
Portable Balance, CX221 EU 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.
