Stable working conditions are essential for accurate measuring results. That’s why precision scales and analytical balances are designed to allow time for stabilizing after product is placed on the weighing pan – approximately three seconds under laboratory conditions for some models.
Even small oscillations or vibrations that may not be noticed by lab personnel can distort weighing results. Typical causes are from moving equipment across the laboratory floor or heavy traffic outside the building. To counteract these external events Tovatech offers a weighing table manufactured by Kern and especially constructed to absorb vibrations and oscillations.
The table has an aluminum profile frame and height-adjustable feet. It weighs approximately 170 pounds overall and has a 108-pound polished marble plate positioned on absorbing rubber components. The analytical balance is placed on this assembly to stabilize working conditions.
