Precision Instruments for Measuring Time, Weight and Force

This collection brings together instruments for accurately measuring weight, time and other quantities, for use in laboratories, workshops, warehouses and production.

What you will find in the collection

• Electronic scales, bench or platform, for weighing goods and materials.
• Spring scales, for quick weighing without a power supply.
• Electronic kitchen scales, for small weighings.
• Digital optical tachometers, for measuring the revolutions per minute of rotating parts.
• Digital hardness testers and calibration accessories, for checking the hardness of materials.

How to choose

For a scale, consider the maximum capacity, the division (the reading accuracy) and the place of use: bench, floor or warehouse. For testing instruments, check the measuring range and the scale suited to the material to be examined, and whether periodic calibration is needed.

Bear in mind that the accuracy of a measurement also depends on correct use of the instrument: a stable surface, zeroing before reading and protection from shocks. For measurements that require certification, ask us whether calibration is available.
