The Ohaus CS200 Compact Scale has a capacity of 200g and an accuracy of 0.1g (also called readability). The removable, stainless steel weighing platform can handle bulky samples in a variety of applications, including postal weighing, soil-sampling, or for home-use dietary needs. The scale can be operated using AC power or three standard AA batteries, offering full mobility in the field and when a power supply is hard to find, for up to 300 hours. When running on batteries, the scale turns off automatically after approximately four minutes if no weighing activity is occurring. The scale has an external calibration system, operated from the front-facing keypad (calibration masses not included), to ensure accurate measurements. Protection from radio frequency means that this scale delivers accurate results when used in production areas or near cellular phones.
Overload protection prevents damage to the weighing cell and scale if too-heavy samples are mistakenly used. This scale is approved for use in compliance with CE-listed and FCC Class B Part 15 operation guidelines, and manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 standards. When used according to manufacturer’s recommendations, this product is covered by a one-year warranty against defects in workmanship or materials.

Scales or balances are measuring instruments used to determine the mass of an object. Mechanical balances are the simplest type of balance, and use a lever and slide to indicate the measurement. Conventional balances are commonly used in offices, the jewelry industry, and in kitchens, and display results digitally, but are less precise than analytical balances. Analytical balances measure to a high degree of precision and accuracy (0.0001g or better), and display results digitally. These balances have a cover with doors to prevent dust and airflow from affecting the measurement. Moisture balances analyze moisture content in a material sample, using infrared or halogen heat sources to dry the sample and then calculate the moisture content from the before- and after-drying weight, and display results digitally, on the balance, or transfer the information for display on a computer.
Ohaus manufactures scales and balances for laboratory, educational, retail, food, and jewelry applications. The company, which was founded in 1914, is headquartered in Parsippany, NJ.
