PBA439 Weighing Platforms

Built for Wet and Humid Environments

The PBA439 stainless steel platform is a robust, durable and economical solution for a
wide range of weighing tasks with heavy washdown requirements. This platform series is a
perfect fit in many industrial applications with a need for durability, streamlined cleaning
and protection at the highest level against water, humidity and condensation.

Accuracy Protection
Optimally placed and independently
adjusted overload stops ensure the
best possible protection against load
cell damage to give you confidence
in your scale’s accuracy over time.

High Durability
The electropolished, fully stainless steel con-
struction is designed to withstand harsh en-
vironments to ensure equipment reliability Hermetically Sealed Load Cell
and longevity. The advanced welded seal of this high
quality load cell makes it the perfect choice
for wet and harsh applications. It not only
withstands steam and high pressure wash-
downs, but also provides the highest reli-
ability under the influence of moisture.

Hazardous Area Approved Hygienic Design

The PBA439 platform series is also The open, sturdy frame design provides
available with global EX approvals for easy access to all parts of the construc-
use in Zone 1/21, Div. 1 and Zone tion to improve cleaning efficiency and
2/22, Div. 2 hazardous environments. eliminate contamination risk.

Precise Leveling
The fixed mounting plate offers a level-
ing bubble to help operators determine
the optimal positioning for accurate
weighing results, and easily adjustable
feet allow for quick and precise leveling
execution.

Optional Hygienic Kit

To further reduce the risk of contamination,
this platform series offers an optional hygienic
kit, containing leveling feet and overload stops
without open threads so water and residue
have no place to collect and hide.

Weights and Measures - Legal for Trade Data

OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology)
OIML certification provides confidence that a weighing device complies with the OIML R76 regulation, which estab-
lishes the metrological characteristics required for weighing instruments and specifies methods and equipment for
checking their conformity.

Glossary
Weighing terms Simple definition
Readability The smallest difference in mass that can be read on a weighing instrument. For instruments with a digital display,
the readability is equal to the division value or actual scale interval of the display. Recommended readability
(min.) is what is prescribed by the manufacturer; whereas, approved readability is prescribed (or mandated) by
weights and measures authorities.

Resolution Smallest difference between displayed indications that can be meaningfully distinguished - this is a non-technical
expression for the number of scale intervals. Sometimes confused with readability.
Minimum capacity The lower range of a scale that should not be used, this range is mandated by weights and measures intended
to eliminate excessive relative weighing errors. In industry, it is recommended to use minimum weight instead
because it is considered a more accurate method that considers the customer's production tolerance.

Repeatability Ability of a weighing instrument to provide results that agree one with the other when the same load is depos-
ited several times in a practically identical way on the load receptor under reasonably constant test conditions.
Repeatability is expressed as a standard deviation.
Error of Indication at The difference between the weight indicated on the display and the actual test weight (full load / half load) placed
full load / half load on the scale. The value represents the combined error of non-linearity, sensitivity offset and repeatability. Note:
Sometimes this is wrongly referred to as sensitivity error, or span error.

Minimum weight Smallest (sample) weight required for a weighment to achieve a desired weighing tolerance. Weighing below
the minimum weight threshold results in errors because the sample weight is too small to achieve the defined
process tolerance.
