Balances |
|||
We have selected a range of
Portable Electronic Balances backed up with a few Manual Balances to cover
the general weighing of birds are well as other applications. We hope
to have provided a selection of Electronic Balances at prices that become a
viable alternative to a set of traditional Manual Spring Balances generally
used at present.
We have used a type of electronic balance since 1997. We have found good points and bad with the electronic balances we have used. Stable readings are hard to obtain in windy conditions or on unstable surfaces. They should not really be used in poor weather or dirty conditions and require batteries. On the positive side, they are much easier to read and cut out incorrect reading of scales. They are also easy to zero allowing more than one Weighing Cone to be used per balance. Electronic Balance Technology has improved a great deal since we bought the balances we use in the field therefore reducing the negative aspects by a significant amount. As a preference we try to use Electronic Balances whenever possible. For surface weighing balances we tare in a Take Away Carton and Weighing Cone, place the Bird in a weighing Cone and place these in the Take Away Carton with the bird on its back. We have found this gets the best results. |

Item Digital Vernia Callipers - Lightweight Plastic (Designs may Vary Slightly from Illustration) |
|
Description : Lightweight Carbon/Plastic 150mm (6") Digital Callipers with Metric and Imperial Ranges. Internal and External Measuring Jaws, Depth Measuring Blade and Locking Screw. Resolution of 0.1mm (0.01") | |||
User Comments : We have used a very similar lightweight plastic calliper set for taking biometrics for a number of years. The big advantage of these Callipers is the Digital Display, rather than the Traditional Scribed Shaft which had to be lined up and read. We found non-technically minded people would very rarely get an accurate reading with the Traditional Callipers. Plus the Digital Display is fare easier to read, especially in torch light. | |||
