Ohaus SB1200 80000029 Mechanical Scale, SB1200

Ohaus 80000029 Mechanical Scale, SB1200 The Ohaus SB1200 school balance is a mechanical beam balance with a capacity of 2000 g and an accuracy of 0.5 g (also called readability) that measures in grams and has a manual tare adjustment across the entire weighing range. Made of ABS plastic, this balance is durable enough to be used in primary and intermediate classroom settings. The plastic weighing pans are interchangeable, and can be removed for pouring samples, cleaning, and storing. There are dual pointers on either side of the balance base that enable students to view readings from both sides of it. This balance includes an 18-piece stackable plastic mass set for adding multiple weights that remain stable during weighing. It is manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 standards and, when used according to manufacturer€™s recommendations, this product is covered by a one-year warranty. Features Mechanical beam balance with 2000 g capacity and 0.5 g readability (also called accuracy) Base, beam, and weighing pans are made of ABS plastic for improved durability in classroom settings Weighing pans are easily removed to help reduce spills when pouring samples and for simple clean-up Dual pointers on both sides of the base enable students to read measures from either side of the balance Includes an ABS plastic, stackable mass set with 18 pieces in a variety of weights   [custom1] Specifications Maximum capacity 2000 g Readability 0.5 g Mass set 1 g (10), 5 g (4), 10 g (2), 25 g (2) Weight of scale .46 kg Unit of measurement Grams Weighing pans (2), H x W x D 3.2 x 14 x 14 cm Balance base dimensions, H x W x D 11.5 x 28 x 10 cm H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. Balances are measuring instruments used to determine the mass of an object, while scales are used to measure the weight of an object. The measurement results from balances are generally considered to be more precise compared to results from scales. Mechanical balances are the simplest type of balance, and use a lever and slide to indicate the measurement. Conventional balances are commonly used in offices, the jewelry industry, and in kitchens, and display results digitally, but are less precise than analytical balances. Analytical balances measure to a high degree of precision and accuracy (0.0001 g or better), and display results digitally. These balances have a cover with doors to prevent dust and airflow from affecting the measurement. Moisture balances analyze moisture content in a material sample, using infrared or halogen heat sources to dry the sample and then calculate the moisture content from the before- and after-drying weight, and display results digitally, on the balance, or transfer the information for display on a computer.
