About Ohaus Analytical Balances
Ohaus Analytical Balances are precision instruments designed to measure mass with high accuracy, typically to the nearest 0.1 milligrams (0.0001 grams). These balances are essential tools in laboratories and industries where precise weight measurements are critical.
How They Work
Ohaus Analytical Balances operate on the principle of electromagnetic force restoration. Here’s a simplified explanation of the process:
- Load Placement: The sample to be weighed is placed on the weighing pan.
- Force Detection: The balance detects the force exerted by the sample due to gravity.
- Electromagnetic Restoration: An electromagnetic force is generated to counteract the force of the sample. The amount of current required to restore the balance to its equilibrium position is proportional to the sample's mass.
- Measurement and Display: The balance converts the current into a digital signal, which is then displayed as the mass of the sample.
Measurement Capabilities and Key Features
- High Precision: Analytical balances can measure mass with extremely high precision, typically to the nearest 0.0001 g (0.1 mg) or better.
- Capacity: The maximum capacity of analytical balances typically ranges from a few grams to several hundred grams, depending on the model. For instance, the Explorer Analytical series offers models with maximum capacities ranging from 120 g to 320 g and a readability of 0.1 mg.
- Calibration: Many Ohaus Analytical Balances feature internal or external calibration to ensure accuracy over time. Some models offer automatic calibration (AutoCal) to maintain precision without user intervention.
- Environmental Protection: Analytical balances often come with draft shields or enclosures to protect the weighing pan from air currents, dust, and other environmental factors that could affect accuracy.
Applications
Ohaus Analytical Balances are widely used in various fields, including:
- Laboratory Research: Precise measurement of chemical compounds and samples, often done with tools like the Pioneer PX.
- Pharmaceuticals: Formulation and quality control of medications.
- Industrial Applications: Quality assurance and control processes requiring accurate mass measurements.
- Food & Beverage: Quality control, nutritional analysis.
- Forensic Science: Evidence analysis.
Ohaus Analytical Balances are indispensable tools in any setting that requires high-precision weighing.
