What are the main features of a bench scale?


Checkweighing  
Testing scales measure a subject's weight to ensure it falls between the two weight limits.Users simply enter in a low and high weight parameter, and the scale will give either an audio or visual signal as to whether the subject falls between these parameters. Calibration platform scales are suitable for production line, warehouse and shipping departments, or any industry requiring consistency.  
 
Percentage weighing
Platform scales with percentage weighing function are used for any process that involves adding ingredients, such as catering and food production, or for more industrial applications, such as paint production or soap manufacturing.  Users can weigh out the percentage of all ingredients as a predetermined weight measurement as a whole to ensure that the amount of all ingredients remains equal even if the total amount of the product changes.  
 
IP Ratings
IP grade platform scales, also known as flush or waterproof platform scales, are one that has a degree of protection against liquid or solid entry.  For solid entry (the first number), the rating is 1 to 6, where 1 is to protect against large objects such as tools and 6 will protect against small particles such as dust or dirt.  For liquid protection (second number), the rating is 1 to 8, where 1 will be splash proof and 8 will be able to be completely submerged for a long time.  Waterproof platform scales are used in kitchens, heavy industrial Settings, construction sites and workshops.  
 
Price computing
A price counter scale, also known as a retail or store scale, is a weighing instrument that gives a price value directly related to a subject's weight.  You can find them in butchers, fishmongers, fruit and vegetable stores, or candy stores.  They usually have screens on the front and back for users and customers.  
 
Parts counting
The platform scale with part counting function can be used to count small subjects such as nuts and bolts, machine parts and more.  Count scales are beneficial to users because they greatly reduce the time spent on manual counting tasks, which can be a long, let's face it, boring process.  They are usually used for stocktaking, inventory monitoring or on the production line.
