    The Prescription Balance and Its Use

    Uploaded by

    Josa Camille Bungay
    There are two types of prescription balances: Class A and Class B. Class A balances have a sensitivity of 6mg without a load and 10g with a load, while Class B balances have a sensitivity of 30mg and can weigh at least 648mg within 5% error. Prescription balances need to be calibrated before use and handled carefully by using weigh boats, arresting the balance, not overloading it, cleaning it after each use, and storing it properly. Videos are provided on sensitivity requirements and testing the balance's accuracy.
