The market is choc-a-bloc with numerous brands with each proclaiming to be the best. However, the ones from HiWEIGH can be considered on merits for having the following functionalities.
Performance: A weighing balance is exposed to a number of elements notably air draft, moisture etc. These elements can alter the readings of the balance to a certain degree unless the balance has the wherewithal to overcome these. The ones from HiWEIGH help in minimizing the effect of air draft on the load cell thereby delivering accurate results. Moreover, most of the balances come sealed in airtight chambers that negate the use of air drafts and help the balance to stay within tolerances. The balances are BAE, BFA, BJA, FH, and FKC.
An Easy to Use Interface: The use of a precision balance, be it in a laboratory or anywhere else, should not be a complex exercise. An easy to use interface goes a long way in improving efficiency and productivity. A technician struggling with operating the controls of a balance leads to stretching the timelines of the project. The precision balances from HiWEIGH have big LCD/LED touchscreen displays (with backlight) having clearly marked buttons. These can be read in any light condition. These balances have remote LCD display as well.
Multiple Features: Why get a balance that does not help you in meeting several requirements. Instead, get the ones from HiWEIGH with a multitude of features and functions. Some of these are as follows:
- Rs232 interface
- Mains AC/DC adaptor or 6 AA batteries
- Windshields for 0.01 grams
- HBM load cells
- Big stainless steel pan
- Adjustable feet < 13 units exchange
- Functions – weighing, percentage & density weighing, checkweigh and piece counting
- Auto power off
- Accessories like a standard dot matrix printer/label printers/anti vibration tables/internal calibration
Tough Built: The robust ABS housing offers protection from overloading. Moreover, the balances are of high capacity that provides an extra cushion from weighing heavier samples. The expansive pan helps the user to place the samples conveniently.
Accessories: Gone are the days when you used a calculating sheet to jot down the readings against various parameters. The precision balances from HiWEIGH come integrated with USB, Ethernet and standard printers. The readings can be directly transferred to a computer for further analysis and the reports can be printed for documentation.
Conclusion
The functioning of a precision balance in a laboratory to its optimal level is important to determine its accurate outcome. The ones from HiWEIGH are the best in terms of accuracy, features, built, functionalities and cost effectiveness.
