Balances, Moisture Analysers & Strain Gauges


High Capacity Mass Comparators and Balances up to 5,400 KG


Have you ever tried to weigh tiny quantities into a heavy container, e.g. different gases for a specific gas mixture directly into a heavy gas cylinder? Mettler-Toledo’s recently launched XK-KC product line offers not only highest precision for mass calibrations up to 5’400 kg but also the perfect solution for such challenging high-load weighing applications.


The XK-KC high capacity mass comparators and balances conquer the challenges of demanding high-load applications that require the highest precision. Typical applications for the XK-KC range are mass calibrations up to 5,400 kg, gas filling, flowmeter calibration and abrasion determination of heavy-wear parts.


Accomplish demanding calibrations and mass determination at peak accuracy and with minimal uncertainty. XK-KC High Capacity Comparators/Balances offer top readability and excellent repeatability at high loads. The unparalleled performance is perfect for weighing applications where the smallest differences in heavy weights have to be determined.


Thanks to the bright colour touchscreen, operation is intuitive and easy, and the large figures can be read easily from a distance. The centring aid enables you to place items precisely in the right place on the weighing platform to ensure the highest repeatability. XK-KC comparators are constructed from high-grade steel to reduce magnetic influences and ensure long-lasting accurate performance.

New Tensiometer and a QC Solution for Wettability Testing: Advance your interfacial analysis


Under the heading Generation íí, Krüss presented two new measuring instruments at analytica 2022 in Munich, Germany. The Tensiometer Tensíío combines technical innovations with great flexibility in individual equipment. Ayríís is the world’s first instrument for measuring 3D Contact Angle and, as a mobile stand-alone solution, performs reliable, unambiguous testing for quality control (QC) and is free of user intervention or result interpretation.


Krüss places particular emphasis with Tensíío on individualised equipment options for the respective needs of the user. For example, a force sensor with very high resolution is available, which is suitable for tasks such as measuring low interfacial tensions or the wetting of single fibres. For standard tensiometry tasks, such as the measurement of critical micelle concentration (CMC), the alternative force sensor in the medium resolution range is completely sufficient. Temperature control is possible via an external liquid thermostat, but more flexible and space-saving solutions are integrated covering a range between -15 and 300°C.


The positioning system for the sample stage has the largest dynamic range to date in the segment of tensiometers based on force measurement. The particularly high maximum speed saves preparation time for each measurement. Extremely slow movements with excellent smoothness ensure precise results for analyses of highly viscous liquids or for contact angle measurements using the Wilhelmy method. Another new feature is the electronic bubble level for instrument alignment, which provides feedback when the instrument is not level to ensure high accuracy.


With Ayríís, Krüss has optimised the contact angle method for quality assurance and developed the first solution for measuring the 3D Contact Angle. The instrument creates a virtual 3D model of the water drop dosed during the measurement and determines the contact angle reliably and always automatically on the basis of this spatial image. The measurement takes only seconds and requires no prior knowledge or training. To prepare the QC checks, sample types can be created via the touch display and tolerance limits for the contact angle can be set. Together with the contact angle result, Ayríís gives a clear passed/failed message based on the defined limits without any necessary evaluation by the inspector.


The novel, highly complex technology for the 3D Contact Angle works with 90 LEDs arranged in a measuring head with precise positioning, whose reflections by the drop are recorded by two cameras. A realistic, virtual 3D model of the drop is created from the analysis of several reflection patterns in rapid succession and a distance measurement by two laser detectors.

Celebrating 50 years of Weighing Expertise with 70s-inspired Fun


Leading weighing scale and balance manufacturer Adam Equipment offers a comprehensive selection of precision balances, analytical balances and moisture analysers created for laboratories. Durable construction and smart features make Adam balances ideal for all lab applications, including weighing chemicals, pharmaceutical processing and quality control checking. Designed for laboratory professionals, Adam’s digital balances and moisture analysers are easy to set up and operate, providing reliable weighing results and simplifying complex measurement tasks.


The company recently marked its 50th birthday with a huge celebration around the world - in a very 70s way.


Adam Equipment, founded in Bletchley in 1972 before moving its offices to Milton Keynes in 1975 - where it is still headquartered today - invited staff to dress up in 70s clothes and take part in fun and games popular in the era at its Kingston-located UK office. The celebrations were synchronised as close as possible with the offices they now have around the world - in America, Germany, China, South Africa and Australia.


Richard Storey, Adam Equipment’s CEO, said: “My father started the business in 1972 in his garage, and since then we’ve grown to six offices and a distribution network all around the world. Our history is very important to us and so are our people, so we wanted to make sure both were celebrated.


“2023 is going to be an important year for us. This year, we have invested in more people at our Milton Keynes office, and this will help us achieve an ambitious growth plan for the UK and overseas.”


Staff enjoyed Pin the Tail on The Donkey and Play Your Cards Right, tucked into a BBQ lunch and finished off with an ‘Adam’ cake complete with miniature weighing scales. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/0l6w
