Weighing is an integral and important task performed in various industries on daily basis. Accurate and precise weighing is a basic need of any industry to maintain stability,Different Types Of Weighing Balances Used In Industries And Laboratories Articles repeatability and quality of the manufacturing process and products. In order to measure accurate weights, highly sophisticated weighing balances are used in industries for weighing. Modern day industrial balances are equipped with advanced technology that allows the user to take quick and accurate measurements. Most of the balances are computerized and give measurements in digital format. These balances are also used in industrial laboratories for testing pursues. The different types of balances that are used in industries and industrial laboratories include digital balance, GSM balance, analytical balance and general purpose electronic balances.

Digital balance or Laboratory balance

Laboratory balances are highly sensitive and accurate digital balances which are easy to operate and come with easy computer connectivity so that the measurements could be stored for reference in the near future. As in the laboratories, users have to weigh very small amounts of materials hence the digital balances used in laboratories are very sensitive and have a small least count. Balances used in laboratories include triple beam balances, digital weight indicators, infrared moisture balances, chemical balance and so forth. The range of laboratory balances starts from 0.1 gram and goes up to 200 grams. 

Analytical balances

For analytical weighing processes, these instruments are used. They are extremely precise and accurate balances the balances are provided features like interference removal. They have a high rate of repeatability hence same analytical procedure can be repeated many times with negligible amount of errors.  They are preferred to be used in testing procedures, analytical procedures etc. a major attribute of these instruments is their self calibrating property according to the factors like temperature hence there is no need to calibrate them overtime when they are used.

Electronic Balances for general purpose weighing

The general purpose weighing of materials and products is done in industries with the aid of electronic balances. These balances are designed to weigh heavy and larger materials and products. These balances work on the principle of piezoelectricity. Electrical current is produced by them according to the displacement occurred in the reaction spring of the balance. The instruments are designed to provide sturdy functioning and long service life. There is need for calibration of these balances after some time of usage. There are different models and types electronic balances available in the market to choose fro according to industry specific requirements.
