Why Use Precision Scales?

Laboratory and research environments demand precise measurement, with little room for error being tolerated and complex loads needing unique scales that can flex to fit your needs. Precision scales not only ensure compliance with medical and other regulatory standards but also help to create a standardized data set that your team can rely on moving forward. In order to ensure you get the best performance possible, you need to focus on the following when looking for a scale:

Required Capacity

Lab and precision analytical scales often have different weight requirements in comparison to heavy industrial sites and other businesses that handle different materials. In order to find the best fit for your purpose, you’ll want to ensure the model you choose is compatible with the specific load needs of your application

Minimum Readability

When dealing with precision instruments, many test methods specify the need for minimum readability. When you need to guarantee your scale can give the most accurate results possible, you’ll want to partner with your sales rep to make sure the model you have in mind is able to stand up to the task.

Do You Need Special Features?

Not every scale will come with the capacity to reprogram specific features or to have them included from the onset. When looking through different options, discuss your needs with your sales rep and the team at Accurate Scale will be able to guide you towards the best solution!

Portability

Finally, if you need to be able to transport your scale from location to location, you’ll want to ensure that any models you look at are portable. Be aware that portable scales can sometimes need more consistent calibration due to being jostled during transport, and should also be given some protection to prevent damage from falls or rough handling.
