Description
ABW 8 (Aqua) washable scale is a compact bench scale designed for routine weighing where cleaning with water is part of daily use. It offers a maximum load of 8 kg with a readability of 1 g, supporting straightforward portioning, sample preparation and general laboratory or production checks. The weighing platform measures 180 x 245 mm, giving a practical surface for containers, trays and typical lab vessels. IP67 protection against dust and water ingress helps the instrument tolerate wet wipe-downs and splash-prone environments without compromising basic operation. Supplied as a single unit from manufacturer AE Adam, the ABW 8 (Aqua) fits workflows that need a robust, washable balance rather than a high-precision analytical instrument. Its combination of capacity, gram readability and sealed construction makes it suitable for food-related labs, industrial sample rooms and other settings where hygiene and durability matter. Clear capacity and platform dimensions support easy integration into existing weighing stations and SOPs that call for an 8 kg class washable scale.

Questions about ABW 8 (Aqua) abwaschbare Waage
What is this article?
ABW 8 (Aqua) abwaschbare Waage is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes AE Adam for laboratory use. It sits in Bench, platform & industrial scales, inside Balances & scales, in Instruments de laboratoire.
A bench, platform or industrial scale takes kilograms to tonnes, with a platform instead of a small pan. Resolution is coarser. The load cell and the platform size are the specification. It is the scale for a drum or a packed goods check, not for a milligram of standard.
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.
