Precision balances are used in laboratories for weighing. Precision balances are calibrated by the manufacturer or factory. ISO-calibrated precision balances are calibrated by an ISO-certified laboratory. An optional ISO calibration certificate is available for purchase as an accessory to any precision balance product offered by PCE Instruments (PCE). Depending on the model of precision balance chosen for your particular application, your precision balance may be equipped with a USB port, RS-232 interface or Bluetooth adapter to allow the weighing data to be transferred to a computer for detailed analysis and documentation.
Different precision balances offer different weighing ranges and levels of accuracy. When selecting a precision balance, be sure to consider the anticipated weight of the object to be measured, and make sure the precision balance you decide upon has a maximum weighing capacity slightly above your needs. In addition, different precision balances have different functions such as full-range tare, part counting and drying programs. Consider the requirements of your application and whether any added functionality would be beneficial to your process. For example, a pharmacy might want a precision balance that not only weighs dosages, but also measures moisture content to assess the storage needs of various pharmaceutical products.
