The credibility of a business depends on how far it goes in convincing its customers or clients of honesty in transactions. The honesty can be well understood when the business uses accurate equipment to weigh the merchandise or delivers quality products or services in time. Among the many pieces of equipment that can reassure customers is the balance or scale. Used to measure the weight of an object, the scale comprising a range of components from the indicator to the load cell, should be protected against the ingress of dust and water.
This is due to the fact that most places where the scales are used are not necessarily spic and span. In fact, places like warehouses, manufacturing hubs or even retail stores are filled with dust and water. These two elements, if happen to enter a scale, can clog and damage its machinery or circuitry. This can lead to the scale giving inaccurate readings or malfunction. Since the business does not have any way to validate the weight shown on the scale, the inaccuracies can go unchecked. These inaccuracies can have a damaging impact on the credibility of the business. Thus, the best way to avoid such a situation is by buying scales that are quality certified.
Quality certified by the IP code
Known as the International Protection Marking under the auspices of IEC standard 60529, the IP code denotes the rate or degree of protection from the ingress of water and dust. For example, the IP68 certification would mean the scale and its internal machinery would be fully protected from the ingress of dust. And as far as water ingress is concerned, the hermetically sealed IP68 waterproof scale can withstand continuous immersion in water upto a specified pressure. So, as a business, you should ideally install scales in your facility that are IP certified, notably IP68.
