Key Factors That Determine a Quality Balance

Posted by Marketing Team on

To achieve accurate and reliable results, it is important to have the right balance in your laboratory. Your work can be significantly affected by the quality of balances you use, whether you are measuring small amounts of substances or larger samples. This post will introduce a new partner in precision called RADWAG and present four essential aspects of a good balance such as accuracy, precision, readability and capacity.

Accuracy

Accuracy is the closeness of scale reading to the true value. In any laboratory setup, a high level of accuracy is needed for experimental results validity and data integrity.

Factors Influencing Accuracy:

  • Calibration: Calibration refers to adjusting the scale output so that it corresponds with a known calibration weight. The maintenance of balance accuracy requires regular calibrations using certified weights.
  • Environmental Conditions: Accurate measurements require stable temperature, low vibrations and humidity levels.
  • Quality of Components: The construction material and sensors used in making the balance affect its accuracy positively when they meet certain standards.

Precision

Precision, also known as repeatability, refers to the agreement between repeated measurements of the same quantity under the same conditions. High precision is critical for experiments that require reproducible results.

Factors Influencing Precision:

  • Balance Stability: The stability of a properly-made balance reduces oscillations and promotes consistent readings.
  • Talent of Operator: The ability to handle instruments uniformly leads to accurate measurements each time.
  • Maintenance: Storage, cleaning, and upkeep are vital for long-term precision in weighing instruments.

Readability

Readability is the smallest increment that can be determined directly from the scale. If weight changes have to be noticed or fine measurements taken then high readability is necessary.

Factors Influencing Readability:

  • Increment Size: Smaller divisions mean higher readability on balances.
  • User Interface: The user interface should allow good display quality so that users can use it without difficulties.

 

Capacity

Capacity refers to the maximum weight that an instrument can accommodate. Choosing a balance with a suitable capacity is necessary when dealing with different types of samples that will be weighed.

Factors Influencing Capacity:

  • Intended Applications: Think about the typical mass range of the samples you will be weighing and select a balance with an appropriate capacity.
  • Balance Type: Different categories of balances (ultra-micro, micro, analytical, precision) have different capacities to suit specific needs.
  • Load Management: Ensure that the balance is capable of carrying out the maximum load without causing any distortion in accuracy or precision.
