1-2 For more accurate measurement
To make more accurate measurement, it is necessary to lessen error-causing factors in measurement
to the extent possible. Error-causing factors include not only an instrument error and performance of the
balance itself but also the nature and condition of a specimen, measuring environment (vibration,
temperature, humidity, etc.) and the like. These factors will directly affect measurement result in the
case of a balance with high resolution capability.
1-2-1 Precautions related to measuring environment
Temperature/
humidity/
atmospheric
pressure
→
Try to keep the room temperature constant to the extent possible in order to avoid
condensation and indication drift due to change in temperature.
→
Low humidity is likely to cause generation of static electricity, resulting in
inaccurate measurement.
→
Change of atmospheric pressure is likely to cause change of buoyancy of the air
on the specimen, tare and mechanism of the balance, resulting in inaccurate
measurement.
Vibration/shaking
→
It is preferable to locate a measuring room on the first floor or the basement. The
higher the room is, the larger the vibration and shaking become. Therefore, a
highly located room is not suitable for measurement. Rooms near the railway or
roadside should also be avoided.
Air draft
→
Places directly exposed to air current from an air-conditioner or to direct sun
generate abrupt temperature change and resultantly cause unstable weight
indication, and therefore, should be avoided.
Gravity
→
The latitude and altitude of a measuring location differentiate the gravity that
affects a specimen, giving a different weight indication to the same specimen.
Electromagnetic
wave
→
At a location where a strong electromagnetic wave generating object is in the
proximity of a balance, the balance is affected by the electromagnetic wave,
making the balance unable to indicate accurate weight, and therefore, such a
location should be avoided.
1-2-2 Precautions related to measuring table
Vibration/shaking
→
Vibrations during measurement destabilizes the indication of measurement value,
leading to inability to make accurate measurement. And so use of a measurement
table that is robust and hardly affected by vibration is required (a vibration-proof
structured table or concrete or stone-made table is suitable). In addition, placing a
sheet of soft cloth or paper under the balance causes shaking or makes keeping
horizontal attitude difficult, and therefore should be avoided.
→
The measurement table should be installed in a position free from vibration to the
extent possible. A corner rather than the center of a room is less affected by
vibration and therefore more suitable for installation of the balance.
Magnetism/Static
electricity
→
Use of the balance on the table that is subject to magnetism or static electricity
should be avoided.

ALE-NC series operation manual 1 Prior to use
－5－
1-2-3 Precautions related to a specimen
Static electricity
→
In general, synthetic resin- and glass-made specimens are high in electric
insulation, and so easily charged electrically. Weighing an electrically charged
specimen makes the indication value unstable, reducing the reproducibility of the
test result. Therefore, neutralize an electrically charged specimen before
measurement.
Magnetism
→
Specimens affected by magnetism show different weight in a different position of
the weighing pan, reducing the reproducibility.
When weighing a magnetized specimen, either eliminate the magnetism from the
specimen or place a setting plate on the weighing pan to distance the specimen
from the weighing mechanism of the balance so that the mechanism may not be
affected by the magnetism.
Moisture
absorption/
Evaporation
→
Measuring a moist or evaporating (vaporizing) specimen increases or decreases
the indication value of the balance continuously. When this is the case, put the
specimen in a container equipped with a small mouth and closely seal the mouth
before measurement.
Specimen
temperature
→
Difference in temperature between the specimen and the windshield interior
generates convection flow within the windshield, causing a measurement error.
When the specimen temperature is excessively high or low, allow the specimen
temperature to stabilize at the room temperature before measurement. Also, to
prevent the convection flow from arising within the windshield, make the
windshield interior temperature equal to the room temperature before
measurement.
→
Measurer’s body temperature also affects measurement result. Handle a
specimen with tweezers instead of directly holding it with fingers and refrain from
putting your hands directly in the windshield during measuring operation.
1-2-4 Precautions related to the main unit of a balance
Operating
precautions
→
A dust cover, if equipped, for the balance may possibly make the weight
indication unstable due to static electricity charged on the cover at a low humidity.
When this is the case, wipe the cover with wet cloth or use antistatic agent or use
the balance with the cover removed.
→
For more stable measurement, it is recommended to energize the balance for
longer than 30 minutes and load the balance a few times with a weight equivalent
to the weighing capacity before measurement.
For non
Calibration
→
Calibrate the balance periodically with an external calibration weight. For the
sake of precise calibration, use an external calibration weight weighing nearly
equal to the weighing capacity of the balance.
→
Energize the balance for longer than 30 minutes and load the balance a few
times with a weight equivalent to the weighing capacity before calibration.
→
Calibration is also needed in the following cases:
When using the balance for the first time,
When using the balance after a long period of non-use,
When changing a place of installation, and
When there was a large change in temperature, humidity or atmospheric
pressure.
Maintenance
→
Attachment of dirt such as powder or liquid to the weighing pan or pan base will
cause measurement error or unstable weight indication. For that reason, frequent
cleaning of the balance is required. In cleaning the balance, take care for the dust
or liquid not to enter into the balance.
