1.1 Introducing the B balance line
Several types of construction – uniform operation
The B balance line ranges from high-resolution analytical balances (AB balances) with a readability of 0.1 mg
via precision balances (PB balances) up to industrial balances (SB balances) with a readability from 0.1 g to
1 g. The weighing ranges extend from 51 g to 32 kg.
The operation of all these balances is identical.
Performance capabilities
In addition to basic weighing operations such as weighing, taring and adjusting (calibration), the following
functions can be activated (section 5):
• Piece counting
• Percent weighing
• Dynamic weighing for unstable weighing samples.
B balances can be optimally matched to the ambient conditions through appropriate setting of the vibration
adapter (section 4.2.3).
METTLER TOLEDO DeltaRange balances also have a movable fine range with 10 times smaller display
increments (section 3.4).
All B balances are fitted with an RS232C interface as standard (section 6.2).
Notes
• Certified versions of the B balances are also available, please ask your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details.
