Precision Balances and Scales
Equipped with a multitude of intuitive features and functions, Adam Equipment's top-loading precision balances are well-suited for laboratory use, quality control testing, manufacturing operations and production applications.
Adam precision balances can effectively accomplish tasks such as formulation, density determination, purity analysis, quality control, packaging and filling, and materials and conformance testing. With their intuitive design, it's easy to perform high-precision weighing and achieve accurate results. Adam offers many balances with data output and tracking capabilities to allow system integration like LIMS and for GLP compliance. View our article on Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).
Adam Equipment's precision balances consistently deliver increased efficiency and accurate results. They include a wide variety of models, like high-capacity models with large platforms that are easy to clean, models with draught shields to measure light sample, or portable compact models for basic weighing tasks.

Q: What’s the difference between analytical and precision balances?
A: While precision balances are more accurate and precise than most scales, they feature a lower readability than analytical balances. They often feature a higher capacity and are less sensitive to changes. That means they can be used outside of labs for applications that require a high level of precision but also measure bigger samples in more variable conditions.
Q: What weight sizes would I need to calibrate a precision balance?
A: That depends on your model. For basic compact models, you can go as high as 1 or 2 grams, and as low as 0.01 g. For higher end models designed for lab usage, you should get increments between 0.01 and 0.001g. Always check your readability before choosing a calibration weight.
Q: What’s the difference between precision and accuracy?
A: Precision is how close multiple measurements are to each other. If you measure the same sample 5 times, you should get the same result each time. If the measurements are different each time, and they’re not close, you balance is not precise. Accuracy is how close a measurement is when compared to a known value. If you weigh a sample that you know is 0.05g, and you get 0.07, you know your balance is not accurate. Take a read of our blog post "What is accuracy?" for more information.
