Below-Balance Weighing 
 
 
A port for below-balance weighing is available on the bottom of the 
balance (not on models BA 160 P, BA110 S, BA61, BA110, BA 210  
or BA 2100). 
 
To fasten an attachment or hanger, open the below-balance port by 
removing the two screws on the bottom of the balance and detach the 
closing plate. 
 
Now you can attach a sample using a Suspension wire, for example. 
 
Common applications for below-balance weighing include specific 
gravity determination or immersing a sample in a special atmosphere 
(medium for a reaction). 
 
 
Important Note 
 
When you use such below-balance weighing attachments, you must 
install a shield to eliminate drafts.
