Weighing Scales Versus Balances

weighing scales v balances

Though people often assume โ€œscaleโ€ and โ€œbalanceโ€ mean the same thing, the differences between the two types may impact your choice of purchase.

A weighing scale is a type of device that determines weight by measuring deflection. Mechanical scales, which donโ€™t require electricity, operate using springs that stretch when weight is applied.
The radial dial displays the amount of force required to stretch the spring, which has been translated into kilograms. For professional purposes, digital scales with load cells have transformed the market. Load cells are transducers that can convert the force, or weight, of an item exerted onto it into a measurable electrical output.

Balances have been around a lot longer than scales โ€“ a few thousand years longer.
Instead of measuring deflection, balances require the application of known weight to determine your unknown weight.
For professional purposes, digital balances are used the most often. With digital balances, the process of creating a force equal to your item is all internal, using a force restoration mechanism.

Ducted V Non-Ducted Fume Cupboards

Ducted V No-Ducted Fume Cupboards
There is a common misconception that Ducted Fume Cupboards are cheaper to install, run and maintain compared to their Non-Ducted counterpart.

When extraction via duct is not possible, using Carbon Filters, can efficiently filter more than 500 chemicals without the need for ducting. With the abilities of a traditional fume cupboard, the non-ducted system doesnโ€™t bear the high costs of exhausting a Laboratories conditioned air, instead, the air is cleaned before being safely recirculated back into the working environment.

Bloodhound Land Speed Record Project Uses Clean Tent To Build Rocket Engine

Bloodhound Land Speed Record project uses Clean Tent to build their rocket engine

The Bloodhound Land Speed Record Project has used a Clean Tent to build their rocket engine. Yes, you read that right!

Bloodhound LSR is a UK-based project aiming to break the world land speed record. At a round of testing, located in Norway, the team required a quick solution and cleanroom capacity in the field, precisely what the Clean Tent is designed to achieve.

To ensure the utmost precision and performance, the Bloodhound LSR team utilised the ISO clean environment to protect the carโ€™s high-powered hybrid rocket pump system whilst it was stripped down and deep cleaned ready for testing.
