OHAUS NVT12000 AM Portable Balance — 12,000g Capacity for High-Volume Field Work

Portability at the kilogram scale defines the OHAUS NVT12000 AM Portable Balance. Engineered for users who routinely move heavy samples across multiple sites, it combines a 12 kg maximum capacity with a robust stainless steel pan, a 270-hour battery life, and a 1-second stabilization time — allowing teams to process large batches quickly without a fixed power source.

Key Features

• 12,000g Maximum Capacity: Measures the heaviest portable samples — from multi-kilogram bulk materials to large mixed assemblies — on a single platform.
• 1-Second Stabilization: Results appear almost instantly after sample placement, supporting rapid throughput even when weighing multiple items in sequence.
• 270-Hour Battery Life: Among the longest runtimes in its class, enabling multi-day fieldwork on a single set of C batteries without worrying about power.
• 174 mm × 230 mm Stainless Steel Pan: The wide platform comfortably holds bulk containers, trays, or irregularly shaped specimens without tipping.
• Comprehensive Unit Selection: Ten measurement units including kilograms, grams, pounds, troy ounces, and carats support diverse measurement disciplines without switching instruments.
• Overload-Protected Mechanism: Withstands loads up to four times the rated capacity, protecting the sensor when heavy items are placed carelessly.
• Optional RS232, USB, and Ethernet: Add communication accessories to connect to data-logging software, label printers, or enterprise networks on demand.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS NVT12000 AM Portable Balance is optimized for operations where sample mass can easily exceed 10 kg but sub-gram precision isn't required. With 1g readability and ±2g linearity, it suits applications like bulk-ingredient checkweighing, shipping weight verification, and large-sample sorting tasks where gram-level granularity is the right specification — not coarser, not finer. The backlit LCD remains readable in challenging lighting conditions, and the wide operating humidity range (up to 85% RH) means the balance performs reliably even in humid storage facilities or coastal environments. When bench-mounted via the included AC adapter, the balance becomes a permanent station; when running on batteries, it travels wherever the samples are.

Applications

• Large-batch ingredient weighing in food manufacturing and blending operations
• Outbound shipment weight verification at distribution and logistics facilities
• Heavy-sample sorting and grading in agricultural or recycling operations
• Classroom and vocational training demonstrations involving high-capacity measurement

Why Choose the OHAUS NVT12000 AM?

The NVT12000 AM serves teams that push the upper boundary of portable weighing — 12 kilograms of capacity with an unmatched 270-hour battery runtime and a pan wide enough for real production containers. If your operation handles heavy samples in mobile or remote settings, this balance eliminates the compromise between range and portability. Add to cart to secure reliable high-capacity measurement wherever your work takes you.
