The Wincom Hydrostatic Balance is a specialized precision weighing system designed to determine the specific gravity, density, and volume of solid materials, aggregates, and minerals. Operating on Archimedes’ principle of buoyancy, this setup combines a high-precision top-loading electronic balance with a rugged, under-bench water tank assembly. It allows operators to weigh a sample first in the air and then fully submerged in water, making it an essential instrument for civil engineering, construction material testing, geology, and mining laboratories.

Technical Specifications

• Weighing Capacity Options: Available from 2,000 grams up to 5,000 grams (heavy-duty models up to 10 kg or 20 kg for concrete/stone testing)

• Balance Readability / Resolution: 0.1 grams or 0.01 grams depending on the selected model

• Under-Hook Weighing Facility: Built-in bottom weighing hook for hydrostatic sample suspension

• Water Tank Frame: Heavy-duty powder-coated steel or stainless steel support structure

• Submergence Basket: Premium rust-proof stainless steel wire mesh basket

• Display Panel: High-contrast digital backlit LCD screen for error-free readability

• Power Supply: AC 220V, 50Hz (includes power adapter)

• Data Interface: Integrated RS232 port for data logging to a PC or micro-printer

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Structural Frame: Features a robust, specialized table-top or floor-standing support frame that securely positions the water tank below the balance without transferring vibrations to the sensor.

• Smooth Lifting Water Tank Mechanism: Equipped with an ergonomic manual crank or smooth lever system that allows operators to easily raise or lower the water tank to submerge the sample basket safely.

• Dual Weighing Efficiency: The balance easily switches between standard top-loading pan measurements (for dry weight) and under-hook suspension measurements (for submerged weight) with complete accuracy.

• High-Capacity Mesh Basket: Comes with a durable, anti-corrosive stainless steel wire basket designed to hold large stone aggregates, asphalt cores, or concrete samples securely during immersion.

• Smart Tare and Stabilization: Incorporates rapid digital filtering algorithms that neutralize wave movements inside the water tank, providing fast, stable, and accurate readings on the console.

Primary Applications

• Civil Engineering and Construction: Testing the bulk density, apparent specific gravity, and porosity of concrete specimens, asphalt cores, and crushed rock aggregates.

• Geology and Mineral Exploration: Evaluating the purity, mineral composition, and specific gravity of rock formations, core drillings, and geological crystals.

• Ceramics and Brick Manufacturing: Checking water absorption rates, structural density, and void volume percentages in fired clay tiles and refractory bricks.

• Material Science Research: Conducting advanced density profiling and structural evaluation of mixed alloys, composite materials, and industrial polymers.
