CHAPTER 2 HAPTER C 2 PREREQUISITES PREREQUISITES Before you install the filtered enclosure, you need to prepare your site for installation. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a dedicated source of electrical power should be located near the installation site to power the filtered enclosure, balance and other apparatus. Additionally, the enclosure should be strategically placed in the lab to provide efficient wo

Chapter 2: Prerequisites Support, Vibration and Movement Requirements At a minimum, the supporting structure usually consists of a base cabinet and chemical-resistant work surface. The ability for analytical balances to accommodate vibration varies with type and brand. More advanced balances have improved tolerance, however in the preparation of a balance enclosure site, please consider the following: • Avoid tubular stands or mobile benches that have the potential of moving w

Chapter 2: Prerequisites Humidity and Static Electricity Requirements Electrostatics can be troublesome in a balance enclosure. It is important to understand and, to the extent possible, control static charges. An electrostatic charged vessel, sample or enclosure can apply forces and lead to errors in weighing. The repulsion or attraction can be detected with micro, semi micro and analytical balances. Static charges can also lead to particulates being attracted to surfaces withi

Chapter 2: Prerequisites The ability of a material to become polarized is a property known as permittivity. On highly insulative materials like acrylic, ions or charged molecules are strongly bound to the surface by polarization forces. The higher the force, the higher is the permittivity value of the material. It is suggested by balance manufacturers that the use of high permittivity materials, such as plastic be avoided. Since static electricity is a surface phenomenon, materi
