Description
Precision balance PR1602 is a full-range laboratory balance designed for routine weighing applications at the workplace. With a maximum capacity of 1,6 kg and a readability of 0,01 g, it delivers reliable results for simple weighing, piece counting and percent weighing. The round stainless-steel weighing pan measures 180 mm in diameter. Construction comprises an ABS upper housing, removable stainless-steel pan, built-in underfloor weighing hook, security loop and adjustment lock. The backlit LCD display and included RS232 interface support clear readouts and data transfer. Selectable environmental filters, automatic taring, auto-dimming, customisable span adjustment points and user-defined project and user IDs enhance daily usability. Overload and underload indicators together with a stability indicator assist the operator. Typical minimum weight (USP, 0,1 %) is 20 g. This PR Series precision instrument from manufacturer Ohaus combines practical features for efficient laboratory workflows in a compact 201 × 317 × 93 mm footprint at 4,6 kg net weight.

Questions about Precision Balance PR1602
What is this article?
Precision Balance PR1602 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.
