Precision Scales Built for Corrosive Environments

A corrosive environment is one in which the chemical effect of harsh products such as solvents, acids, fuels, and other corrosive liquids, is detrimental on materials, usually metals. The materials are gradually destroyed because of the reaction between the corrosive environment and the material. There are many industrial settings, including production and manufacturing, that have … Continued

Active Weighing Solutions

There are a slew of industries that actively incorporate weighing scales into their day-to-day operations. From agriculturalists to paint formulators to scrap metal yards and beyond, each industry has a different need when it comes to finding the perfect weighing solution. Providing these solutions for over thirty years, Arlyn Scales has witnessed, and even led, … Continued

Industrial Floor Scales for Sale

Even the strongest of floor scales are only as durable as their load cells. This is where the weight meets its measuring stick, and the Arlyn Scales Series 5200 Floor Scales provide exceptionally strong load cells that are made of heat-treated stainless steel. This kind of stainless steel is far superior to the aluminum or … Continued

Analytical Balance for Chemical Industries

Many industries, and the chemical industry in particular, are only effective when using scales that are extremely accurate. While many companies offer scales with high-resolution readings, their capacity is often not much larger than around 1200 grams (3 lb), and this at a higher cost. These scales are fine for small applications where chemicals are … Continued

Decimal Precision Laboratory Scales

One of the primary shortcomings of most analytical balances is that they are limited in their capacity. These scales are sufficient for very small weight readings in laboratories, but as a laboratory’s capacity needs increase, they are often left with very few options in terms of analytical balances. As chemical industries look for very high … Continued

A Cost Effective Alternative to Force Motor Scales

Force motor scales, also called magnetic force restoration or MFR scales, are used when precise, high resolution measurements need to be taken. The resolution of a scale is the number of decimal places the scale can accurately produce. Scientific labs and paint mixers are just two examples of industries that would require this kind of … Continued

NEC Hazardous Area Classifications

The NEC, or National Electric Code, sets the standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. There are certain work environments that have been specifically classified as hazardous due to the nature of the materials used in that environment. For example, warehouses that work with flammable gases and liquids … Continued
