What is the Analytical Balance used for in the Textile sector?

The analytical balance is an electronic equipment used in the laboratory for weighing small samples, which is represented by a minimum division of 0.0001 mg, and for this purpose must be protected from vibration to avoid alterations in its functions, such as any air flow or changes in temperature.

On the other hand, for the textile sector, the team is responsible for providing the exact samples of paint, ink or dyes for the due process of dyeing fabrics. It is performed by chemical processes by mixing different components, taking into account the balance to obtain optimal and safe results.

Using the Balance to Process Blends

Firstly, for the manufacture of dyes within microbiological processes, it is based from different chemical methods of substances or   components and electronic movements of the analytical balance, for the creation of the different color ranges. For this, depending on the chemical elements, the creation of the dyes can be acidic, basic or neutral and this relationship is created from the active part of the dye and the result on the microbial cells.

In this sense, textile manufacturers, with chemical compounds added to the materials, carry out the manufacturing mechanisms of the different fabrics and textures in mechanical form, by penetrating the dyes at the molecular level and resistant to washing.

In addition, the process of using the analytical balance involves the classification according to the accuracy of the equipment, expressed as follows:

  • Granataria: minimum division 0,1 g (100 mg) with a maximum capacity 10-30 kg.
  • Precision: minimum division 0.01 g (10 mg) with a maximum capacity 3-10 kg.

Analytical Balance Type

Basically, the technology in which the analytical balance is operated, there are two types, among them are the mechanical ones, which have to do with the mechanical principles conformed with two cymbals, or a base cymbal for the support of the samples. On the other hand, there are the electronic analytical balances, where they specialize in having electronic methods to investigate and reflect the data on the passage of the sample. They also operate by means of electromagnetic mechanisms by means of a photocell that perceives the location of the saucer and the electromagnet, which levels the force practiced by the same load that is on the saucer.

In addition, the scales are classified according to their minimum division into the following categories:

  • Semi-analytical: The minimum division is represented by 0.001 g (1 mg) with a maximum capacity of 1-3 kg.
  • Analytical: The minimum division is 0.0001 g (0.1 mg) and the maximum capacity has a total of 100-300 g.
  • Semi-analytical: represents the minimum division of 0,00001 g (0,01 mg). And the maximum capacity is 10-30 g.
  • Micro-analytic: minimum division is 0.000001 g (0.001 mg) (1 µg). maximum capacity is 3-10 g.
  • Ultra micro-analytical: minimum division 0.0000001 g (0.0001 mg) (0.1 µg). Maximum capacity 1-3 g.

It should be noted that the optimization of the accuracy and measurements provided by the analytical scales must comply with recommendations for use, such as: the user must always verify that the leveling of the equipment is ideal, as well as leaving the equipment connected to the correct outlet and on to maintain the thermal level of the electronic circuits and always leave the device in “standby” mode, so that the heating time alters future measurements and gives long life to the equipment.
