No matter how sophisticated a piece of equipment may be, it is always prone to errors. This applies to precision electronic balances too. We need to take meticulous care of them and they need to be re-calibrated regularly, such that the mass readings rema...

Most precision analytical balances offer two modes of calibration: (1) manual calibration using an external (standard) weight and (2) automatic calibration with an internal motorized auto-calibration feature which is part of the apparatus. In a previous a...

As with most precision equipments, it is very important that a lab balance gives accurate and consistent readings with every use. After all, we are dealing with small mass measurements accurate up to four decimal points for most analytical balances.
At...

Some models of analytical balances, also known as electronic scales are suitable for measuring the specific gravity, or density of objects. The density of a solid sample is calculated from the weight of the sample in air and the weight of the sample in a ...

Some objects that must be weighed are just too big or unwieldy to place with a fair degree of stability on a conventional weighing pan of a balance. In these cases the load can be supported with a hook on the underside of the balance. Hence, this applicat...
