What types of scales are there?

Here are many types of scales, mainly including the following:

Steelyard ‌: This is a simple weighing device that uses the principle of leverage. It is usually composed of a wooden steelyard, a metal weight and a lever. Steelyard has a long history, light production, easy to use, used to be the main measurement tool of commodity circulation.

Bench scale‌ : Including mechanical platform scale and electronic platform scale. The mechanical table scale is simple in structure, accurate in measurement, and suitable for flat and solid surfaces. The electronic platform scale uses the principle of non-electric measurement, which has the characteristics of light weight, convenient movement and various functions.

Desktop scale ‌: Lever mechanical scale weighing less than 50 kg, divided into ordinary desk scale and electronic pricing scale. Common scales are simple in structure, durable and easy to maintain; The electronic valuation scale has the function of high precision and digital memory.

Balance ‌: Mainly used in the laboratory, the balance beam is supported in the center of the beam through the fulcrum to form two arms, one arm to put the known weight of the object, the other arm to put the object to be weighed. The accuracy of the balance is generally 0.1 or 0.2 grams.

‌Electronic scale ‌: Through the sensor to convert the weight into electrical signal display, suitable for all kinds of bulk cargo measurement, with automation, high precision characteristics.

‌

Spring scale‌ : The use of spring deformation to measure the weight of objects, ranging from a few milligrams to dozens of tons, there are two types of single-sided and double-sided display.

Floor scale‌ : Large floor scale, usually used to weigh the truck load tons, with digital, intelligent and other characteristics.

These scales differ in structure, principle and usage scenarios, meeting a variety of weighing needs from daily life to industrial production.
