Mettler Toledo PG802-S Precision Balance - Precision and Durability for Professional Laboratory Use
The PG802-S is a top-of-the-line precision balance designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratories. As part of the PG-S series, this balance embodies the quality and reliability for which Mettler Toledo is renowned. The PG802-S model is specifically designed for applications requiring precise measurements, with a maximum capacity of 810 g and a fine readability of 0.01 g, making it suitable for a wide range of scientific and industrial tasks.
One of the key strengths of the PG802-S is its extremely robust and chemically resistant construction. This ensures that the balance can withstand harsh laboratory environments, including exposure to various chemicals and frequent handling. The sturdy design not only enhances durability but also ensures consistent performance over time, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance or recalibration.
The PG802-S is equipped with a convenient keypad that allows for one-handed operation, making it easy to use even in busy laboratory settings. The large, easily readable display ensures that results are clear and visible, reducing the risk of errors when recording data. This intuitive design is complemented by integrated short-form instructions, accessible to help streamline daily operations and reduce the learning curve for new users.
A remarkable feature of the PG802-S is the FACT (Fully Automatic Calibration Technology), which offers fully automatic motorized calibration using an internal weight. This function ensures that the balance remains precise and reliable without the need for manual intervention, saving time and reducing the risk of human error. The internal weight also allows for periodic sensitivity checks, further enhancing the reliability of results.
In addition to its calibration technology, the PG802-S includes several built-in functions that increase its versatility. These functions include piece counting, percent weighing, formula weighing, and dynamic weight determination, making the balance suitable for various applications, from basic weight measurement to more complex tasks such as formula mixing or determining weight fluctuations in dynamic systems.
The PG802-S also features a built-in RS232C interface, allowing easy connectivity to computers, printers, or other peripherals for data transfer and documentation. Additionally, an optional LocalCAN universal interface can be added, supporting up to five peripherals, increasing the balance's flexibility and adaptability in complex laboratory setups.
A dynamic graphical indicator, called DeltaTrac, provides an analog display of the remaining weighing range, giving users a visual representation of the remaining capacity during the weighing process. This feature is particularly useful for avoiding overloads and ensuring that the balance operates within its optimal range.
The balance's weighing pan, measuring 165x165 mm, offers sufficient space to accommodate a variety of sample types and sizes. For applications requiring increased precision and protection from environmental factors, an optional universal glass draft shield is available, helping to minimize the effects of air currents and other external influences on the weighing process.
In terms of technical performance, the PG802-S offers a repeatability of 0.008 g and a linearity of ±0.01 g, ensuring that results are both accurate and reproducible. The balance also features a fast stabilization time of just 1 to 2 seconds, enabling quick and efficient weighing even in high-throughput environments.
