Using the Balance
User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum
Statistics (Secura ® and Quintix ® only; see page 42)
Use this application to save weight and calculated values and statistically analyze
them. You can save up to 99 components.
Components (Secura ® and Quintix ® only; see page 45)
Totalize weight values. You can save up to 99 components that are weighed in
various individual containers.
Each container can be tared before each component is weighed.
Density (see page 48)
Use this application to determine the density of solid samples using a density set
based on the buoyancy method. The density is determined using Archimedes'
Principle. The upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal
to the weight of the fluid the body displaces.
Percentage (see page 52)
This application is used to determine the percentage share or the percentage
difference of the sample related to a reference weight.
Conversion (Secura ® and Quintix ® only; see page 55)
Use this application to multiply the weight value by a user-defined factor.
The selected factor is saved to protected memory.
Unstable condition (see page 57)
Use this application with moving samples (such as live animals) and for weighing in
unstable environments. A measurement cycle is automatically carried out with a
defined number of measurements for each object to be weighed. The individual
measurements are averaged, and this average is displayed as the result.
Checkweighing (see page 59)
Use this application to check whether a weight value falls within the specified
tolerances. This application also makes it easy to fill sample materials to a specified
target weight.
Peak hold (see page 61)
Use this application to calculate the maximum weight value of a sample (peak
value). The value remains on the display for five seconds after the sample has been
removed from the balance.
Example: Use for measuring release force during an experiment, or use when a load
is so big that the balance display is hidden from view during weighing.
Counting (see page 63)
Use this application to determine the number of parts of approximately equal
weight. The weight of a counted reference sample is calculated and then the
objects with an unknown piece count are weighed. The balance displays the
number of parts and the piece weight.
