21. Terms/Index
21.1.
Terms
Calibration
Adjustment of the balance so that it can weigh accurately.
Calibration weight
A weight used for calibration.
Data number
Numbers assigned sequentially when weighing data or unit weight is stored.
Digit
The minimum weighing value available. Used for the balance, one digit is
the smallest mass that can be displayed.
Environment
Ambient conditions such as vibration, drafts, temperature, static electricity
and magnetic fields which affect the weighing operation.
External weight
A weight that you have.
GLP
Good Laboratory Practice.
GMP Good
Manufacturing
Practice.
Internal mass
Built-in calibration weight.
ISO
International Organization for Standardization
Micro tube
2 mL and 1.5 mL micro tubes in the market can
be weighed with the micro tube holder.
Repeatability
Variation in measured values obtained when the same mass is placed and
removed repetitively. Usually expressed as a standard deviation.
Example: "Standard deviation = 1 digit " means that a weighing error may occur within
±1 digit in the frequency of approx. 68% when weighing the same mass
repeatedly.
Re-zero
To set the display to zero.
Sensitivity drift
An affect that a change in temperature causes to the weighing data.
Expressed as a temperature coefficient.
Example: Temperature coefficient = 2 ppm/°C, If a load is 10 g and the temperature
changes by 10°C, the value displayed changes by the following value.
0.000
002 ppm/°C x 10 °C x 10 g = 0.0002 g
Stabilization time
Time required after a sample being placed, until the stabilization indicator
illuminates and the weighing data is displayed.
Tare
To cancel the mass value of a container which is not to be included in the
weighing data. Normally, refers to an operation of placing a container and
setting the display to zero.
Target weight
An external weight used for calibration test
Zero point
A weighing reference point. Usually refers to the value displayed when
nothing is on the weighing pan.
1.5 mL 2

Micro tube
