OHAUS PX163 Pioneer PX Precision Balance, 160g Capacity, 0.001g Readability, InCal, GLP/GMP

OHAUS PX163 Pioneer PX Precision Balance — Near-Analytical 1 mg Resolution Across 160 g

Milligram-resolution precision without full analytical balance complexity is the niche the OHAUS PX163 Pioneer PX Precision Balance occupies. With 0.001 g readability, InCal internal calibration, and an included glass draftshield, it delivers performance that approaches analytical-grade accuracy at a precision balance price point — a practical option for labs with demanding but not ultra-trace requirements.

Key Features

• 0.001 g Readability: Milligram resolution bridges the gap between standard precision balances and full analytical instruments, serving applications that require finer measurement than 0.01 g but not sub-0.1 mg sensitivity.
• Included Glass Draftshield: At 0.001 g resolution, air current management is essential — the draftshield is included rather than optional, protecting measurements from ambient disturbances.
• InCal Semi-Automatic Internal Calibration: Operator-triggered calibration without external weights maintains accuracy as lab temperature drifts through the working day.
• 120 mm Stainless Steel Pan: A mid-sized pan balances sample versatility with the enclosed measurement environment provided by the draftshield.
• USB and RS232 Ports: Dual connectivity supports GLP-formatted data export with real-time timestamps for documentation and regulatory compliance.
• 2-Second Stabilization: Relatively quick settle time for a milligram-resolution balance, supporting reasonable measurement throughput in routine tasks.
• Multiple Unit Support: Reads in milligrams, grams, carats, grains, ounces, troy ounces, and a range of international weight units — useful in diverse commercial and research contexts.

Detailed Overview

The PX163 targets laboratory work where 0.01 g resolution is insufficient but the full complexity and cost of an analytical balance is unnecessary. Typical repeatability of 0.001 g and ±0.002 g linearity confirm that results are consistent across the 160 g range. The secondary dot-matrix display on the dual-line LCD communicates procedural guidance and secondary data alongside the main weight readout, reducing dependence on paper protocols. Metal base construction provides a stable, vibration-resistant foundation. User-definable IDs and software lockout features support structured, multi-operator laboratory environments where configuration integrity matters.

Applications

• Gemological and jewelry weighing requiring carat and grain readout at milligram precision
• Compounding pharmacy and nutraceutical preparation where 0.01 g resolution is insufficient
• Research and development involving moderately sensitive gravimetric protocols
• Educational labs requiring near-analytical precision for advanced chemistry coursework
