OHAUS SPX422 AM Scout Portable Balance, 420 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability

OHAUS SPX422 AM Scout Portable Balance — 420g Capacity with Centigram Resolution and 80-Hour Runtime

When routine sub-gram field weighing needs to resolve to the centigram, the OHAUS SPX422 AM Scout Portable Balance provides a compact, battery-powered solution. With 0.01g readability across a 420g range and 80 hours on standard AA batteries, it is a practical upgrade from the 0.1g SPX421 AM for applications where finer measurement increments directly affect the quality of field data.

Key Features

• 0.01g Readability Across 420g: Centigram precision at a compact capacity — ten times finer than the 0.1g Scout at the same capacity tier, for measurements that matter at the small scale.
• 80-Hour Battery Life: Solid all-day and multi-day runtime from four AA batteries; the balance is always ready without planning around charging schedules.
• ±0.01g Linearity: Tight linearity across the full 420g span confirms measurement integrity whether weighing near empty or close to maximum capacity.
• 120mm Stainless Steel Pan: Practical size for small sample vials, gemstone parcels, fine components, and standard laboratory vessels.
• Six Application Modes: Covers totalization, display hold, check weighing, percent weighing, and parts counting alongside basic weighing.
• Calibration Lock and Security Slot: Physical and mechanical security features protect calibration status and the instrument during transport or shared use.
• Stackable, Lightweight Design: The 1kg instrument weight makes the SPX422 AM easy to carry to any measurement site without impeding mobility.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS SPX422 AM Scout Portable Balance sits at the resolution boundary between the coarser SPX421 AM and the milligram-class SPX423 AM — and for many field applications, 0.01g is exactly the right level of precision. Gemstone sorting, specialty spice or herb portioning, small metal component counting, and fine analytical field sampling all benefit from centigram discrimination without the complexity of a milligram instrument. The 1-second stabilization time means measurements are rapid, and the 80-hour battery exceeds a full standard workweek of eight-hour days — making battery management genuinely simple in the field. The included AC adapter ensures seamless transition to a benchtop configuration when the work returns indoors.

Applications

• Gemstone and precious materials sorting where centigram weight distinctions matter
• Fine ingredient portioning in food production or culinary applications
• Analytical field sampling requiring 0.01g precision in a portable format
• Small-component parts counting with high resolution for accurate piece count
