DESCRIPTION
The Field Test Scale is a very compact design and provides accurate
weighings of a wide variety of heavy materials, even under the most adverse
conditions. Applications include: road constructions sites, weighing of soil
samples, archaeological samples, and mineral samples. The Field Test Scale
is ruggedly built and designed for field applications where accurate
measurements must be made. The large stabilized pan will hold oversized
samples without tipping, and the weighted base keeps the entire scale rock
steady.
Model 2400-11 permits readings up to 500 g taken from a single sliding weight
beam with a readability of 5 g. A set of slotted weights, stored in the base,
extend the capacity up to 16 kg.
Model 2400-12 has a capacity of 36 lb with a readability of 0.01 lb.
SCALE COMPONENTS
The Field Test Scale is equipped with a universal beam, graduated in both
avoirdupois
(A) and metric (B) calibrations. The appropriate scale to be used is determined by
the attachment weight calibration (avoirdupois or metric). Beam graduations are
shown below.
