Abstract

Modern single-pan electronic balances (analytical and micro-analytical) operate on an electromagnetic principle, without the use of weights, and hence the formulae used for the correction of measurement results due to air buoyancy in the case of corresponding mechanical balances utilising weights are not directly applicable. Therefore, there are cases when measurement of mass using modern electronic balances (without correction for air buoyancy) is performed with relatively high errors and low accuracy, which may be as poor as with balances used in commercial practice. This paper describes a method for the correction of measurement results due to air buoyancy; formulae are developed for high accuracy mass measurement on single-pan modern electronic balances without the use of weights.
