Water resistant balances (Stainless steel balances)

Water resistant balances have been made out of stainless steel and come with both dust and vapour emission protection so they can be used under the harshest conditions. Stainless steel edges are rounded and the surfaces are flats. The weighing cell has been encapsulated for a higher protection so these water resistant balances are also called "Heavy Duty balances" due to their extreme hardness. An additional advance is the great backlight display and the  +/- weighing indicator which shows in an optical way exactly the moment when the target weight is obtained (red, yellow and green). Besides, water resistant balances have a a rising light strip as capacity indicator. To meet with the M III standard water resistant balances can be verified (only in SST series). If you wish to obtain the greatest comfort under adverse weighing conditions choose one of our water resistant balances (with weight ranges up to 60 kg). Our engineers and technicians are available to help you asses our balances that best suit your needs. Call us on: our offices: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398.

Technical especifications for our water resistant balances can be found at the following links:

- PCE-SST series platforms balances
  (water resistant balances IP 66 / IP 65, resistant to water, ranges up to 150 kg)

- PCE-PM SST series water resistant balances
  (verified water resistant balances, ranges of 30 or 60 kg, RS-232)

To meet with DIN ISO 9000 (quality assurance) a laboratory calibration can be performed (including the calibration documentation) or a verification. This can be carried out by the PCE-Group Company. All our water resistant balances come ENAC certified. If you wish to obtain an ENAC certificate, contact your local authorised laboratory. Verification: To meet with the CE standard, all water resistant balances must be verified when they are used for one of the following functions (as we have just pointed out, verification can be carried out by the local authorised verification centre or by the PCE Group company: In trade relationships, when the price of the product is determined by its weight. To make medicines and formulations in pharmacy as well as detailed analysis in medical or pharmaceutical laboratories.  For Official activities such as determining rates or sanctions. Finally, for the production of packages.
If you require additional information about verification of water resistant balances, or you are not sure if you need a verified balances, you can contact your local authorised Verification Centre. Verification of water resistant  balances , only for those that can be verified, can be done when balances are ordered or they can be sent for a periodical verification. Once an official verification has been done water resistant balances cannot be recalibrated using an external calibration weight. The first verification is valid for two years, but each following validation is good for one year and must be done annually by the authorised verification.
