Laboratory Scales & Balances

General Purpose Balances cover a wide range of Balances which are easily moved by one person and are not necessarily used in the same place. We offer a wide range of general purpose balances for weighing across all industries, Research, Medical and Education. Choose a balance to suit your weighing needs based on the maximum weight you will need to weigh up to (capacity), the smallest weight you will want weighing details on (graduation or increment), the physical size and style of weighing scale you need, and the environment the balance will be in. Features can include Under hook weighing, Density Determination, Counting and Checkweighing, RS-232 interface to communicate with external devices. Power can be either mains powered, batteries or internal rechargeable battery.

How best to decide on a General Purpose Balance

• Environment in which the balance is to be used (clean, dusty, wet)
• Stainless or ABS housings and plate
• Capacity (max. weight to be used)
• Increment (smallest division of the scale)
• Size of the scale (any space restrictions)
• Power (internal rechargeable battery, removable batteries, AC mains adaptor)
• Trade Approval (if money changes hands as a result of the displayed weight)
