Ohaus Voyager VP6102CN precision balance (6100g x 0.01g) is your precision weighing
solution no matter how difficult the weighing task. When you select the
Ohaus Voyager toploading laboratory balance you get advance embedded software
including statistics, formulation, statistical QC, differential weighing, density
determination and more. Plus, all Voyager lab balances come standard with
motorized internal calibration - AutoCal
The Voyager VP6102CN is NTEP
Approved (a.k.a. Legal
for Trade) precision balance and we highly
recommend you click the Certificate of Conformance hyperlink below in the balance
specification table to fully understand the Ohaus VP6102CN limitations.
The Ohaus VP6102CN weighing specs are 6100g weighing capacity and increments in
0.01 gram increments, but in the NTEP / Legal for Trade mode the increment is
only in 0.1 gram graduations.
One design issue you should be aware of with the Voyager Series when the
balance is used in the non-NTEP mode is the inability to disable the use of internal
calibration. The Ohaus line is the only balance we know of that does not
allow you to disable the internal calibration. Where this becomes an issue
is most calibration A2LA Certification Calibration companies will NOT calibrate
a balance unless the internal calibration can be disengaged. If your balance
is going to require A2LA Certification the Sartorius
CPA6202S Precision Balance may be a better choice.
Another design issue with the Ohaus Voyager 0.01g and 0.1 toploading balances
is the windshield surrounds the platform implemented to deflect air currents
from disturbing the weighing pan. Notice how the windshield wraps around
the weighing pan. Sometimes this causes an obstruction in your weighing
application where the item you are weighing "you think is on the platform"
but actually the sample is touching the windshield, thus providing the incorrect
weighing results. The Sartorius
CPA6202S Balance and the Sartorius
GP5202 doesn't have this windshield design and offers a larger weigh pan 7.4"
x 8.0" since Sartorius refined their balance so well it needs no windshield.
Before purchasing the Ohaus Voyager balance with 0.01 gram resolution,
check out Sartorius GP5202 precision balance.
For those people looking for the best possible 0.01 gram balance for the money maybe you should
consider the Sartorius GP5202. We feel the GP5202 precision toploader from Sartorius is CLEARLY the
best value Precision Weighing Balances has to offer and we have them in stock
for immediate delivery. If you don't really need 6100 grams weighing capacity, consider the much more affordable
Sartorius GP5202. These balances only weigh up to 5200 grams, but can save you $$$ if they are suitable
for your weighing application.
Please be aware that the Sartorius GP5202 precision balance is NOT Legal for Trade. If your
weighing applications require NTEP approval, you may be better off buying an Ohaus Voyager with
the Legal for Trade certification.
GP5202 toploading balance offers a maximum weighing capacity of 5200 grams and readability to 0.01 gram
intervals. This precision balance features a backlit LCD display, HUGE 7.4" x 8.0" weighing platform
[Ohaus VP6102CN is 6.8" x 6.8"], RS232 interface, parts counting mode, and external calibration all for
an unbelievably low price. Ohaus Voyager balances feature internal calibration, while the
GP5202 from Sartorius offers external calibration only. To many people internal calibration is a really nice
feature and if you believe this then maybe the VP6102CN is the best choice for your weighing application. We prefer
external calibration because it is more affordable, and external calibration is truly the only way to calibrate a
balance to insure accuracy. Click
here to learn additional benefits of external calibration verses motorized internal calibration. Sartorius
GP5202 balances are in stock and ready for immediate delivery.
Another similar model you should review is the Sartorius ED6202 precision balance.
This balance is very similar to the GP5202 except it has a higher weighing capacity of 6200 grams.
Yes - the windshield surrounds
the platform deflecting air currents from disturbing the weighing pan.
Notice the top view of the balance how the windshield
wraps around the weighing pan. Sometimes this causes an obstruction
in your weighing application so customers select the Sartorius
GP Series since Sartorius refined their balance so well it needs no
windshield.

Voyager
Pro Applications
Advanced
in applications but not in operation. With Voyager Pro’s dot
matrix display and innovative user interface, balance setup and use is effortless.
For superior weighing performance, Voyager Pro’s AutoCal™ feature
automatically calibrates the balance when it senses a temperature change
sufficient enough to affect weighing accuracy. For maximum accuracy,
the Voyager Pro Series features 4 analytical modelswith
capacities up to 210g with a 0.1mg readability. The draftshield design
provides optimum draft protection from wind currents for superior balance
stability and reproducibility even in challenging environments.
Statistical
Quality Control (SQC)
The
SQC feature is extremely useful during various types of process filling
operations when it is desired to monitor and control the process to eliminate
under and over filling. Provisions are made in the balance to accommodate
the weight of various packaging methods. During operation, parameters
of the packaged product are set into the balance such as packaging weight,
acceptable weight limits and non-acceptable weight limits of the product.
These weight limits are identified as +Tl, +T2, NOMINAL and -TI, -T2.
As samples are weighed and stored in the balance, a trend analysis is developed
and displayed on the balance. Up to 25 samples in a batch with up
to ten batches are visible on a trend screen for quality control purposes.
Each batch of samples is shown on the display which indicates the maximum/minimum
standard deviation and mean values for each batch. An on going examination
of the relative deviation of the samples along with other statistical data
can be viewed and is stored. By observing the results of the VIEW
TRACE screen, you can effectively monitor the filling process operation.
Statistics
Statistics
are used when it is desired to compare a number of samples and examine the
relative deviation of the samples along with other statistical data.
A minimum of three samples are required in this program. Statistics
contains menu options which include: number of samples, maximum, minimum,
difference, sum, mean, standard deviation, relative deviation, auto sample,
and auto print. Weighing, Animal Weighing, Check Weighing and Filling
application modes can also be linked to the Statistics mode to provide statistical
data.
Differential
Weighing
Differential
weighing stores tare and weight values so samples can be dried or processed
and the difference in weight be calculated. Up to 80 samples can be
stored. The balance has the capability to work with one or two different
containers or no container at all.
Density
Four
methods of density determinations can be made with the Voyager Pro balance.
The
Four Methods of Density Determination:
Solids
more dense than water
Solids
less dense than water
Liquid
density
Porous
material (impregnated with oil).
An
accessory density determination kit is designed to be used with Ohaus Voyager
Pro balances. A built-in reference density table for water at temperatures
between 10°C and 30°C is included in the balance software.
When making density measurements, the material should weigh at least 10.0
mg on an analytical balance and 100 mg on a precision balance.
