Balanza granataria
Saltar a: navegación, búsqueda
Una Balanza granataria es un tipo de balanza utilizada para determinar o pesar la masa de objetos.
Suelen tener capacidades de 2 ó 2,5 kg y medir con una precisión de hasta 0,1 ó 0,01 g. No obstante, existen algunas que pueden medir hasta 100 ó 200 g con precisiones de 0,001 g; y otras que pueden medir hasta 25 kg con precisiones de 0,05 g.1
Es muy utilizada en laboratorios como instrumento de medición auxiliar, ya que aunque su precisión es menor que la de una balanza analítica, tiene una mayor capacidad que ésta y permite realizar las mediciones con más rapidez y sencillez, así como por su mayor durabilidad y menor coste.1

Please also note that a balance is different to a scale, despite many people using these interchangeably:

  -> You need to look at the picture in my first reference to see what this actually is though/Ah, there is more than one way of saying this though, so we are both correct here.
