Ohaus Dial-O-Gram Stainless Steel Triple Beam Balance 80000037 2610g

Description

Product Overview

The Ohaus Dial-O-Gram mechanical triple beam balance is engineered for laboratories, classrooms, and industrial settings where precise mass measurement is critical. Constructed with a robust stainless steel platform, the balance resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning, ensuring long‑term reliability. Its capacity of 2610 g with a readability of 0.1 g provides a wide range for weighing solids, liquids, powders, and even small biological samples. The classic dial‑calibration system, combined with magnetic damping, delivers rapid stabilization after each weighing, reducing user wait time and minimizing measurement error. The inclusion of a dedicated tare beam allows users to offset container weights up to 225 g, streamlining repetitive weighing tasks and improving workflow efficiency. Designed with a top‑loading configuration, the balance offers easy access to the weighing pan and clear visibility of the dial indicators, facilitating straightforward operation for both experienced technicians and students new to analytical weighing.

Usage

In a research laboratory, the Dial-O-Gram balance excels when measuring reagents for chemical synthesis, where exact mass is essential for reaction stoichiometry. In educational environments, instructors rely on its intuitive design to teach fundamental concepts of mass, density, and material properties, allowing students to perform hands‑on experiments with confidence. Quality‑control professionals in manufacturing settings use the balance to verify component weights against specifications, ensuring product consistency and compliance with industry standards. The stainless steel pan accommodates a variety of containers, from glass beakers to plastic weighing boats, while the tare function eliminates the need for separate calculations when the container itself contributes to the total mass. Its magnetic damping system quickly settles the beam after each placement, making it suitable for high‑throughput environments where time efficiency is paramount. Moreover, the balance’s durability withstands the rigors of daily use, making it a cost‑effective solution for long‑term operational demands.

FAQ

What types of samples can I weigh with this balance?

The Dial-O-Gram balance is suitable for solids, liquids, powders, and small biological specimens. Its stainless steel pan can accommodate a variety of containers, and the tare function allows you to subtract the weight of the container, making it versatile for many laboratory and educational applications.

How does magnetic damping improve the weighing process?

Magnetic damping reduces the oscillations of the beam after a sample is placed on the pan, allowing the pointer to settle more quickly. This rapid stabilization shortens the time required to obtain a stable reading, increasing throughput and minimizing user fatigue during repetitive measurements.

Is calibration required for this mechanical balance?

While the balance is calibrated at the factory to meet industry standards, periodic verification is recommended to maintain accuracy over time. Ohaus provides calibration services and guidance on how often recalibration should be performed based on usage intensity and environmental conditions.

Can the balance be used in environments with temperature fluctuations?

The mechanical design of the Dial-O-Gram balance is less sensitive to temperature changes than electronic scales. However, for optimal performance, it should be operated in a stable environment with minimal drafts and consistent temperature, typically between 15 °C and 30 °C.

What warranty and support options are available?

Ohaus offers a standard limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and includes access to technical support. Customers can also purchase extended service contracts for additional coverage, routine maintenance, and on‑site calibration to ensure long‑term reliability.
