Walter Products B-400-W-O Double Pan Balance 2000g Capacity Cream

Description

Product Overview

The Walter Products B-400-W-O Economy Double Pan Balance is engineered for high‑precision weighing tasks in laboratory, research, and quality‑control environments. Featuring a robust mechanical design, the balance offers a maximum capacity of 2000 g with a fine sensitivity of 0.1 g, allowing users to detect minute mass differences with confidence. Both weighing platforms are crafted from polished stainless steel, each measuring 15 cm in diameter, providing a corrosion‑resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain. The notched and tiered beam mechanism ensures stable equilibrium, while the built‑in calibration adjustment enables quick fine‑tuning without the need for external tools. The balance comes complete with a comprehensive weight set—including 1 × 1000 g, 1 × 500 g, 2 × 100 g, 1 × 50 g, 2 × 20 g, and 1 × 100 g—safely stored in a protective case, ready for immediate use. Its compact footprint of 19 × 11 × 8.5 inches and lightweight construction (5.31 lb) make it suitable for benchtop placement in crowded lab spaces, while the cream‑colored finish adds a subtle aesthetic touch that blends with most laboratory décor.

Usage

Designed with versatility in mind, this double pan balance excels in a variety of applications. In academic chemistry labs, students can perform gravimetric analyses, titration end‑point determinations, and comparative weighing exercises, gaining hands‑on experience with reliable instrumentation. In industrial quality‑control settings, technicians rely on the balance to verify component masses, monitor batch consistency, and conduct routine calibration checks, ensuring that products meet strict specifications. The balance also serves well in research facilities where precise mass measurement is critical for formulation development, material characterization, and sample preparation. Its sturdy construction tolerates frequent handling, and the included weight set simplifies the calibration process, reducing downtime. Whether placed on a laboratory bench, a cleanroom work station, or a portable field kit, the B‑400‑W‑O delivers consistent performance across temperature‑controlled and ambient environments.
