Figure 7.
Arrangement of Weights on the type ION Balance
s. The top view of an analytical balance, depicted in Figure 7, shows how the
calibrated weights are placed on the balance beam.
Although the side view of
calibrated weights in Figure 8 is taken from the mode SCN balance, calibrated
weights loaded on the beam of the model ION balance have the same general
appearance when viewed from the side.
Figure 9 is included so that when you
compare other analytical balances with the model ION, you will recognize that their
controls and operating principles are basically the same.
t. Compare the readouts in the windows and on the scales of the panels in
Figures 5A and 9 to see if they are the same as the weighing results stated in the
figures. Although the weighing results are the same for both instruments, you can
see that control titles such as DIGITIZER DRUM and MICROMETER KNOB are different.
Also, you can see changes in the methods used to obtain decimal readouts. However,
you should remember that the basic principle of operation is the same.
The 10G,
1G, and smaller controls on both balance models are manipulated to add or remove
calibrated weights to or from the balance beam to bring the balance into
