Know what you
are buying! All our pre-weighed cassettes
are weighed to a 5 decimal accuracy (e.g.
.00001g). Some competitive brands are only
weighed with a 4 decimal accuracy and are
unacceptable for some applications.
Using our pre-weighed cassettes
does not comply with OSHA directives which
require both the “tare weight” and
“secondary weight” to be performed
on the same microbalance and environmental
conditions. If complying with this directive
is a concern, match-weighed cassettes are
a good alternative way to save time and still
comply with the directive.
Environmental conditions can
have a significant effect on filter weight
readings. When using our pre-weighed cassettes,
it is important that the post sample weighing
is performed under the same environmental
conditions used at the factory. Those conditions
are set at a temperature of 68° F (± 0.1°F)
and a relative humidity of 50% (± 1%). |
