Industries that work with hazardous materials require scales that are safeguarded against the damaging effects of these substances. Whether you’re weighing hazardous materials for recording purposes, need to keep track of how much chlorine gas is left in a tank, or need accurate measurements while working with potentially dangerous chemicals or environments, you need a durable scale you can trust. Arlyn Scales has decades of experience and knowledge behind us, and we have created a great selection of scales that are safe to use with hazardous materials.
Intrinsically Safe Scales
Our intrinsically safe scales are appropriate for use in many industrial environments that have flammable or explosive fumes and liquids and high concentrations of dust. Our Intrinsically Safe Bench Scales are perfect for distillery labs and workshops. These explosion proof scales are easy to use with a large LCD digital display on a stainless steel swivel mount. The load cells on these scales are made from heat-treated stainless steel alloy, so they are very rugged, and the platform can handle large loads.
Arlyn Scales is also the manufacturer of the industry’s first and only Intrinsically Safe Chlorine Ton Scale. Chlorine is an extremely dangerous gas to work with, and its levels need to be monitored closely to prevent accidents and health and safety hazards. The ArlynGuard T is a reliable chlorine ton scale constructed from stainless steel to reduce corrosion and provide a longer life. This scale applies weight to four intrinsically safe, heat treated, and abuse resistant load cells for accuracy that is up to five times better than standard ton scales.
Intrinsically Safe Ultra Precision Scales
We recently introduced the new ArlynGuard S line of approved Intrinsically Safe Ultra Precision Scales using Surface Acoustic Wave (or SAW) Technology. These scales offer 10 times the accuracy of a regular strain gauge, bringing you better precision at a more affordable price. With a resolution of 1:100,000, ArlynGuard S scales are perfect for applications involving explosive, flammable, and other hazardous conditions. While these scales include a rechargeable battery supply, they can also be configured for AC Powered Systems with a Safety Barrier. For more details, please call us at (800) 645-4301.
Corrosion Resistant Scales
If you work with corrosive materials, then you need a corrosion resistant scale. Corrosion Resistant Scales from Arlyn Scales feature 3-part polyamine epoxy-coated stainless steel for exceptional durability and resistance to corrosive materials. This chemical scale is a must-have for industries working with ammonia, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen, brine, etc. Spills and fumes can destroy a regular scale, but you will get years of quality service out of our Corrosion Resistant Scales. These scales range in capacity from 500 lbs to 10,000 lbs, so you’re sure to find one that fits your business’s needs.
