Unknown - Weigh Table

• Providing a stable, vibration-dampened surface for precision weighing in laboratories.
• Supporting analytical balances and scales in quality control environments.
• Used in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for accurate ingredient measurement.
• Essential for research and development where precise mass determination is critical.

Typical capacity

Designed to support balances with capacities ranging from a few grams up to several kilograms, depending on the specific model and construction.

Power supply

A weigh table itself does not typically require a power supply; it is a passive support structure. The weighing equipment placed upon it will have its own power requirements, commonly 230V single-phase for laboratory use.

Construction material

Commonly features a heavy, solid top plate, often granite or a similar dense material, supported by a robust frame, frequently steel, to maximise stability and minimise vibration.

Vibration isolation

Many units incorporate levelling feet or isolation pads to further dampen external vibrations, crucial for sensitive weighing operations.

Footprint

Dimensions vary, but a typical laboratory weigh table might have a work surface of 600mm x 800mm, with an overall height suited for ergonomic use with a laboratory stool.

Levelling

Units commonly feature adjustable feet to ensure a perfectly level weighing surface, critical for accurate balance operation.

• What is the primary purpose of a weigh table?

  A weigh table is specifically designed to provide an extremely stable and vibration-free platform for precision weighing instruments like analytical balances, ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of measurements.

• How does a weigh table differ from a standard laboratory bench?

• Is installation complex for a used weigh table?

• What maintenance is required for a weigh table?

• Can any balance be used on a weigh table?

Weighing terminals and load cells are regarded as robust, dependable components in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments. Buyers typically prioritise units with verified calibration history and documentation of maintenance records. The equipment is valued for its longevity and accuracy retention when properly serviced. Key considerations include compatibility with existing systems, sensor condition, and whether calibration certificates are current. Industry practice favours units from recognised manufacturers with established support networks. Used examples generally perform reliably when sourced from well-maintained facilities.
