It isn’t difficult to find suitable weighing equipment today. The accuracy delivered by common strain gauge scales is usually good enough for a wide range of weighing applications; however, if you require extreme precision and accuracy, then a strain gauge scale may not deliver the kind of results you want. Fortunately, Arlyn Scales’ Ultra Precision Scales can.
16 years ago, Arlyn Scales started developing Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology. This technology is unlike other technologies found in industrial scales, and it makes it possible for our Ultra Precision Scales to endure heavy loads while simultaneously delivering extremely precise and accurate weight readings.
Here are a few ways Arlyn Scales’ Ultra Precision Scales can be used for everyday applications:
1. Determine Flow Rate with Precise Measurements
Industrial weighing is crucial for determining various flow rates of liquids and other substances in industrial locations. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find an extremely accurate flow meter, and to get your hands on one can cost you a lot of money. Furthermore, some materials are incompatible with the materials used to construct the majority of flow meters. Ultra Precision Scales are useful for measuring flow rate because users can monitor weight gain and loss from a container using these highly accurate scales. Ultra Precision Scales have the high resolution required to quickly detect the smallest changes in flow rate. In an industrial setting, you may want to test the flow rate of a pump, a gravity feed device, or perhaps an evaporation system. If you have any type of liquid you want to test the flow of, then you can do it quickly and accurately with Ultra Precisions Scales from Arlyn Scales.
2. Weighing Equipment and Counting Small Parts
Ultra Precision Scales are handy for weighing small parts and counting small parts. Analytical balances, which are essential laboratory weighing equipment, provide high precision and accuracy for measuring smaller samples. By determining the weight of 1 small part, measuring 10 small parts, and determining an average for 1, you can measure a large container of identical small parts and determine how many small parts are there.
Scales with Surface Acoustic Wave technology are 10 to 20 times more accurate than average industrial scales, and this reduces parts counting errors dramatically.
3. Measuring Heavy Loads
Before the development of SAW scales, if you wanted to weigh something extremely accurately, then your only option was Magnetic Force Restoration (MFR) scales. The core component of these precision balances is the weighing cell, which maintains accuracy under varying environmental conditions. But, if you wanted to weigh something heavy, let’s say something that exceeds 50 pounds, then MFR scales weren’t always an option, because MFR scales that are made to endure weights above 50 pounds are impossibly expensive. People with heavy loads were often made to settle for the accuracy delivered by strain gauge scales because strain gauges can endure very heavy loads. Usually, using strain gauge scales to measure heavy loads accurately was not an issue; however, for some, it can be. Therefore, Ultra Precision Scales by Arlyn Scales finally offer consumers in this situation a solution, because Ultra Precision Scales can measure heavy loads just as accurately as MFR scales, and the scales are not impossibly expensive.
A 220-pound capacity MFR scale costs $5,500, while an equivalent SAW scale costs $1,500. SAW scales are available with maximum weight capacities of up to 1,000 pounds.
What are Ultra Precision Scales?
Ultra Precision Scales are high-accuracy weighing instruments designed for industrial and laboratory applications where precise measurements are crucial. These scales utilize advanced technologies, such as Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology, to deliver weight measurements that are 10 to 20 times more accurate than standard strain gauge scales. This remarkable precision makes Ultra Precision Scales ideal for industries that demand meticulous data and careful measurements.
Industries such as paint mixing, wastewater treatment, laboratory research, pharmaceutical and medicine production, and food and beverage processing benefit significantly from the use of Ultra Precision Scales. Whether it’s ensuring the exact formulation of a chemical mixture or maintaining the consistency of a pharmaceutical product, these scales provide the reliability and accuracy needed for critical tasks.

Most consumers of industrial scales are satisfied with the current level of industrial-scale technology, but there are always some people who require higher accuracy. A reference weight is crucial in determining the accuracy of a scale, as it assesses the precision by measuring a known weight and evaluating the scale’s displayed measurement. SAW scales have high capacity, deliver high accuracy, and are available at a reasonable cost. Therefore, consumers’ requirements can be satisfied with Ultra Precision Scales.
The costs of Ultra Precision Scales with SAW technology are comparable to prices associated with strain gauge scales, but the results are incredible.
Why Ultra Precision Scales are Different
A decent 100 kg high-resolution scale might measure loads in increments of 20 grams, but let’s say a person needs to measure 50 grams of material. Using a high-resolution scale with a readability of 20 grams, the person would only be able to measure 40 or 60 grams, never 50 grams. This means the person could easily have an error as high as 20%. A precision balance product, such as those designed for laboratory use, offers enhanced accuracy and functionality. Fortunately, 100 kg Ultra Precision Scales by Arlyn Scales measure units in increments of 1 gram. If the same person uses an Ultra Precision Scale instead of a regular scale, then the range of error is reduced from 20% to 2%.
Further, Every Day Uses for Ultra Precision Scales
With the high accuracy, high capacity, and low cost of Ultra Precision Scales by Arlyn Scales, you can use these scales to accomplish the following:
Measure packages before or after shipment
- Weigh food before cooking, which is essential in the food and beverage industry for ensuring compliance with safety and hygiene standards.
- Mixing materials, like paint or dye.
- Weighing air and water filters before and after use.
