Suggested Product Categories
Precision Balances
Precision balances weigh in increments up to 3 decimal places (0.001g) and are available without draft shields (top loaders) or higher-sensitivity models with draft shields to mitigate disruptions from air currents.
Compact Balances
Compact balances are lightweight and easy to operate, often portable and can be powered by either AC adapter or battery, making them perfectly suited for field operation.
Hanging Scales
Referred to as either crane scales or hanging scales, these heavy-duty suspension scales allow extremely large loads like fishing nets, containers and crates to be weighed in the air while the operator maintains a safe distance.
Digital Bench Scales
Bench scales are compact weighing scales that are small enough to be used on a bench or countertop. Varieties of bench scales include IP-rated washdown scales, trade-approved scales, counting scales and checkweighing scales.
Pricing & Retail Scales
Price computing scales are trade-approved scales that offer the additional functionality of calculating a price in addition to weight, with three displays to show weight, price per unit and final price.
Washdown Scales
Washdown scales offer protection against water to allow easy cleaning. The level of protection is denoted by IP (Ingress Protection) levels such as IP67 and IP68. For more on IP ratings, read the Adam blog.
Counting Scales for the Industrial & Commercial Markets
Ideal for streamlining inventory and packaging tasks, counting scales first weigh a single sample piece, which is then used by the scale to calculate a total number of identical pieces based on weight.
Pallet Truck Scales
Pallet truck scales combine the functions of a pallet truck and a scale into one convenient machine that both weighs and moves palleted loads in a warehouse.
Platform Scales
High capacity platform scales easily weigh large, bulky items such as boxes, shipping crates and heavy luggage. They require the addition of a weighing indicator to perform weighing, checkweighing, percentage weighing and counting tasks.
Trade Approved Scales
Approved scales are legally required when pricing is based on weight (i.e., €10 per kilogram or $5 per pound). Approvals such as NMI, EU, NRCS, NTEP and Measurement Canada vary by country or region.
Scale & Balance Accessories
Accessories can provide added functionality (like printers or density determination kits) or protection (in-use covers, disposable weighing pans and security locks) for your scale or balance, increasing performance and boosting efficiency.
Industry insights
Choosing the Right Platform Scale
Platform scales can be found nearly anywhere: factories, shipping and receiving departments, mailrooms, warehouses and loading docks use them to weigh large, bulky or oversized items, including boxes, shipping crates, pallets, barrels, drums and luggage. In this post, we’ll walk you through one of the harder questions you may have to ask yourself: how do I choose the right platform scale?
The Use of Balances in Materials Testing for Construction
In nearly any industry, the quality of the materials used can often mean the difference between success and failure. This can be particularly true for construction, where failure can have serious consequences. The research and development process typically includes a variety of materials testing applications to ensure the final product meets quality and safety standards. Balances and scales play a critical role in the testing of construction materials.
Counting scales are versatile weighing machines that can be used for counting and weighing objects simultaneously. Typical applications include checkweighing, for checking the weight of objects against a pre-set limit to performing accurate parts counting procedures to reduce manual counting. Counting scales come in a variety of sizes that can be used on a worktop bench or a floor respectively. Ideal for quality control centers, retail warehouses, production facilities and factory environments.
Laboratory scale is a broad term used to refer to any weighing scale or balance that can be used within a laboratory environment. This predominantly includes analytical and precision balances that are capable of carrying out highly precise weighing tasks, testing and research. These digital laboratory scales are readable to up to 0.01mg and are optimally used with anti-vibration tables and draft shields to keep weighing results accurate.
Research and development laboratories rely on Adam Equipment balances for weighing chemicals, powders and other samples.
Pharmaceutical labs use analytical and precision balances for research and development, for quality control during production, and in pilot testing.
Adam balances and moisture analyzers make it simple for materials testing labs to verify construction substances, such as concrete or asphalt. Food processing and manufacturing facilities use Adam lab balances in quality assurance testing, to achieve consistent production quality and to ensure items meet standards.
Digital balances and scales are used in forensics labs to weigh evidence seized during crime investigations.
Laboratory scales can be calibrated in two different ways: Internal or external calibration. Internal calibration uses an internal mechanism to calibrate the scale and can often be achieved with the push of a button, meaning calibration weights are not necessary. This method is faster and easier, although the capability will add to the price of your laboratory balance. External calibration involves manually calibrating your laboratory weighing balance using external calibration weights. Users place the weights onto the laboratory balance when it is calibration mode and can then establish whether the displayed weight is correct. For more information on external or internal calibration and which one is right for you, please see our blog post.
