Description
The Mettler Toledo PJ3600 DeltaRange® is a high-performance, industrial-grade laboratory precision balance engineered for rapid and ultra-precise sample mass determination. Housed in a robust, chemically-resistant die-cast metal enclosure, this toploading balance is designed to withstand the heavy-use demands of quality control, chemical synthesis, and industrial material testing environments while maintaining long-term calibration stability.
The defining advancement of this model is Mettler’s proprietary DeltaRange® technology. This dynamic, dual-range capability acts as a virtual micro-range within a high-capacity system. While the balance maintains a broad overall capacity of $3600text{ g}$ with a standard $0.1text{ g}$ resolution, pressing the control bar at any point in the weighing process instantly activates a high-resolution window ($0.01text{ g}$ readability up to $600text{ g}$). This enables technicians to execute micro-additions of delicate reagents directly into heavy tare vessels or bulk formulations without sacrificing precision or needing to transfer samples between multiple balances.
At its core, the PJ3600 relies on an advanced electromagnetic force compensation cell that ensures exceptionally fast stabilization times and highly reproducible results. Featuring a premium, brushed stainless steel weighing pan and a low-profile, spill-diverting design, the balance effectively isolates sensitive internal mechanics from powder and liquid contamination, making it a reliable, high-fidelity asset for critical laboratory workflows.
Features:
-
Mettler DeltaRange® Dual-Precision: Offers a standard weighing range of $3600text{ g}$ with a $0.1text{ g}$ readability, and a selectable high-precision range of $600text{ g}$ with a tenfold increase in readability ($0.01text{ g}$).
-
Single-Control Bar Interface: Uses a simple, tactile metallic front bar to control all vital operations including Power On/Off, Taring, and menu navigation.
-
Overload Protection: Equipped with robust mechanical stops beneath the weighing pan to protect the internal electromagnetic force compensation cell from damage due to excessive loads.
-
Rugged Spill-Resistant Build: Solid metal housing provides high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding and protects sensitive inner mechanisms from liquid spills or dust.
-
Data Integration Capable: Features a rear connection interface (typically CL or RS232) for direct connection to laboratory printers or data acquisition systems.
