| We have selected a range of
Portable Electronic Balances backed up with a few Manual Balances to cover
the general weighing of birds are well as other applications. We hope
to have provided a selection of Electronic Balances at prices that become a
viable alternative to a set of traditional Manual Spring Balances generally
used at present.
We have used a type of electronic balance since 1997. We have found
good points and bad with the electronic balances we have used. Stable
readings are hard to obtain in windy conditions or on unstable surfaces.
They should not really be used in poor weather or dirty conditions and
require batteries. On the positive side, they are much easier to
read and cut out incorrect reading of scales. They are also easy to
zero allowing more than one Weighing Cone to be used per balance.
Electronic Balance Technology has improved a great deal since we bought
the balances we use in the field therefore reducing the negative aspects by
a significant amount. As a preference we try to use Electronic
Balances whenever possible.
For surface weighing balances we tare in a Take Away Carton and Weighing
Cone, place the Bird in a weighing Cone and place these in the Take
Away Carton with the bird on its back. We have found this gets the
best results.

Comments : High capacity balance at a reasonable price. Good for
weighing the heavier birds but you loose the accuracy at the lighter end of
the range. If you have a small low range balance and want a relatively
cheep digital balance for larger birds then this could be the solution. |

Comments : Top of our range balance providing accurate readings across
the full range in most conditions. Not a pocket balance but ideal if
you want just one balance to cover a wide range. This balance is
possibly more suitable for Ringing Stations or Ringing Groups rather than
individules. |

Digital Vernia Callipers - Lightweight Plastic

Description : Lightweight Carbon/Plastic 150mm (6") Digital Callipers with Metric and
Imperial Ranges. Internal and External Measuring Jaws, Depth Measuring Blade

User
Comments : We have used a very similar lightweight plastic calliper set
for taking biometrics for a number of years. The big advantage of
these Callipers is the Digital Display, rather than the Traditional Scribed
Shaft which had to be lined up and read. We found non-technically
minded people would very rarely get an accurate reading with the Traditional
Callipers. Plus the Digital Display is fare easier to read,
especially in torch light. |
