analytical balance

• Balance de laboratoire de haute précision utilisée pour mesurer la masse avec une très grande exactitude, généralement jusqu'à 0,0001 gramme (0,1 mg) ou mieux, souvent employée dans l'analyse scientifique et chimique.

A highly precise laboratory instrument used to measure mass to a very fine degree, typically to 0.0001 grams (0.1 mg) or better, often used in scientific and chemical analysis.

   A highly sensitive laboratory instrument used to measure mass with extreme accuracy, typically to the nearest 0.0001 gram (0.1 mg).

   balance analytique

   • The chemist used an analytical balance to weigh the sample for the experiment.
   • Analytical balances are often enclosed in a glass case to prevent air currents from affecting the measurement.
   • Before using the analytical balance, the technician calibrated it with a standard weight.
