Refurbished Balances

Types of Used and Reconditioned Balances

Features of Analytical Balances

Analytical balances are designed specifically for laboratory use and measure small masses in the sub-milligram range. They provide accuracy to at least 0.1 mg within transparent enclosures called draft shields, which prevent air currents from affecting the scale’s operation. These draft shields also protect the weighing pan from dust and debris when not in use.

Benefits of Top Loading Scales

In contrast, top loading scales are generally used for larger capacity applications where a precision of 0.1 g is adequate. The versatility of top loading balances makes them among the most widely used scales in both industrial and laboratory settings.

Applications of Semi-Micro and Micro Balances

Semi-micro and micro balances are often found in product testing and QA labs, where small weight variations are critical. Micro balances, in particular, can measure with accuracy to within 0.00001 g, making them invaluable for precise applications.
