How Do Ambient Factors Affect Weighing Readability? Improve Your Balance Working Conditions
How to Eliminate Weighing Errors?
When we select a weighing instrument, we mainly pay attention to its parameters. This is because we are of the opinion that the guarantee of the greatest accuracy and the best indication repeatability goes to the parameters. Is it really so?
It is true that the parameters of a balance have a huge impact on the measurement result, but they are not the only ones. The conditions in which this device works, namely weighing instrument location, cubic capacity of the workroom, temperature, humidity, air drafts and light, as well as electromagnetic compatibility.
How Do You Prepare a Workstation in a Laboratory?
If there are vibrations or quakes in the workroom, then it is necessary to eliminate them by placing the balance on a convenient base, for example on an antivibration table. In our offer you will find both antivibration tables and professional weighing workstations – single or dual.
Anti-Draft Chambers
If your balance works in unfavorable conditions, for example, its measurement is disturbed by drafts or gusts, it is worth considering the purchase of an anti-draft chamber. Anti-draft chambers are designed for a specific type of weighing device. We offer chambers for microbalances, analytical balances and mass comparators.
The anti-draft chamber is installed on the antivibration table, and the balance or comparator is placed inside the chamber. Thanks to the sliding side or side and top glass doors, the user has free access to the weighing chamber.
Ambient Conditions Monitoring through THBR 2.0 System
The THBR 2.0 System is designed to supervise ambient conditions indoors on the basis of data read from measuring devices manufactured by RADWAG. The components of this system are THB-R software, THB S or THB P Sensor, THB W Sensor (liquid temperature sensor) and THBR Box Ambient Conditions Recorder.
The THB-R software continuously reads values such as air temperature, relative air humidity, atmospheric pressure and vibration from the measuring devices. In addition, it calculates air density.
DWA® in the 5Y Series Balances
Ambient conditions are also supervised by the Digital Weighing Auditor, or DWA® for short. DWA® is a system that monitors ambient conditions, namely temperature, humidity, pressure and vibration.
DWA® is one of many features in the extensive list of amenities found in the 5Y series balances. It’s sewn into the terminal, so you don’t have to buy any external devices or activate optional features – you get everything in the price of the balance.
