Weighing balances are used in industrial
and research laboratories.
Weighing balances are further classified
into Precision Balances, Analytical Balances, Semi Micro balances and Micro
balances.
Selection of the balance depends on the
required readability ( i.e. grams or milligrams).
Other
factors that play role in selection are weighing capacity - minimum and maximum
weight it can weigh.
Repetability - ability to show the same result when
object is repeatedly weighed under similar condition.
Weighing environment and stabilization period.
Weighing balances provide different functions and can be
interfaced with computers for storing and analyzing weighment data.
Weighing balances are sensitive device and
need to be handled very carefully.
For
accurate reading they need to be placed where there is no vibration,
interference from air current and static charges.
