Abstract
Previous Cahn Electrobalances have been and are widely used in vacuum weighing. Their principal limitation has been capacity. A new Electrobalance has been developed using an elastic ribbon suspension, with capacity in excess of 1 g. Precision is 0.1 µg. The new instrument also has new circuitry to permit extremely long-duration runs at full precision without adjustment, and provision for taring to increase percentage precision, up to 2 ppm. The new instrument can be used in high vacuum, and with samples which are at high temperatures. It is not affected by vibration, normal shock, temperature, or temperature changes.
