Material

It is important to ensure the construction of the bench scale is suitable for the environment. For applications involving corrosive environments or heavy washdowns, you may want to consider a stainless steel bench scale. Stainless steel operates well in corrosive environments because it does not rust or corrode easily. For additional applications, a mild steel bench scale could be a comparable alternative to a stainless steel one.

Capacity and Size

Before choosing a bench scale, evaluate the items you will be weighing. Observe the dimensions and weight of the smallest and largest items to determine if the capacity and size of a single bench scale would be suitable. If not, you will need an additional scale to obtain accurate weighments.

Industry Requirements

When considering bench scale options, it is important to understand the installation guidelines required for approval. For example, selling goods based on their weights involves a Legal for Trade installation, which requires the scale's measurements to first be certified. This certification is performed by scale technicians accredited by the EU notified body within that country's government. A further example includes hazardous applications. The desired bench scale must meet the safety requirements for potentially explosive environments.
