Balance

1. Electronic balance and its classification According to the accuracy of electronic balance, it can be divided into the following categories:
1. Ultra-micro electronic balance: The maximum weighing of the ultra-micro balance is 2 to 5g, and its scale division value is less than (maximum) 10-6. For example, Mettler's UMT2 electronic balance belongs to the ultra-micro electronic balance.
2. Microbalance: The weighing of the microbalance is generally 3 to 50g, and its division value is less than the (maximum) weighing 10-5, such as the AT21 electronic balance of Mettler and the S4 electronic balance of Sartoruis.
3. Semi-micro balance: The weighing of semi-micro balance is generally 20 to 100g, and its division value is less than (maximum) 10-5. For example, Mettler's AE50 electronic balance and Sartoruis' M25D electronic balance belong to Such.
4. Constant electronic balance: the maximum weighing of this kind of balance is generally 100 to 200g, and its division value is less than (maximum) weighing 10-5, such as Mettler's AE200 electronic balance and Sartoruis A120S, A200S electronic balance The average is a constant electronic balance.
