Frequently Asked Questions
Our weighing scales for schools offer users an extensive range of features alongside accurate standard weighing, depending on which type of educational scale or balance you have.
Our educational bench scales and compact balances come with simple weighing functions such as parts counting, percentage weighing and accumulation functions. These features can simplify classroom weighing procedures and offer students an insight into how a weighing scale works, but also allow students to carry out more advanced counting and measuring tasks.
Precision and analytical balances can offer more advanced weighing functions suitable for educational research and testing practices. These can include dynamic weighing, density determination, statistical analysis, formulation and purity analysis.
Analytical balances for education may include advanced functions to aid in complex weighing tasks for educational experiments and research. Analytical balances can be used for density determination, percentage weighing, and dynamic weighing. A statistics feature is also useful for educational environments, as it allows users to capture weighing data such as maximum and minimum values, difference and the sum, as well as working out the average and standard deviation or your results.
School precision balances are versatile pieces of weighing equipment and can be used for many different educational tasks. Our precision balances are easy to clean and offer protection from spillages, making them great options for weighing chemicals, compounds, and messy subjects. Many of our precision balances also feature rechargeable batteries which make them perfect for field work and weighing where a power supply is not easily available.
School compact balances are simple weighing instruments and are suitable for basic measurements in general science lessons and physics classrooms. Some of our compact balances, such as the CB Compact Balance, come with a chemicalresistant, grade-304 stainless steel weighing pan, making them suitable for use in chemistry labs.
The main benefit of using mechanical scales and balances for education is that they do not require a power supply. This enables them to be used anywhere in the classroom and means users do not have to worry about locating a power supply or whether a battery is fully charged. Our triple beam balance can be an important tool in showing students the basics of weights and mass. They offer a more visual and interactive experience than a regular digital precision balance as students can move the sliders themselves to see what effect this has on the balance.
- Compact balances such as our CB Compact Balance and Dune Portable Compact Balance are the perfect school scales for students from elementary school through junior high. They offer reliable weighing results alongside durable and robust construction that can easily be wiped down after use to deal with any classroom spillages. Their compact and portable designs make them great weighing scales for schools that are short on space, while also allowing them to be used for fieldwork, and can then be easily stacked and stored away in storerooms and desks.
- Mechanical Scales for schools offer students a chance to visualize how weights and measures work, making them ideal for younger students learning about weighing, forces and mass.
- Precision and Analytical Scales for higher education and university laboratories. These educational weighing balances are readable up to 0.01mg, allowing users to weigh the lightest of objects such as hairs or insects. This level of sensitivity means they are highly susceptible to outside interference and must be used with draft shields and anti-vibration tables to combat breezes and vibrations.
