Ohaus Navigator NV222 Portable Toploading Balance 220g 0.01g Precision

Description

Product Overview

The Ohaus Navigator NV222 is a compact, portable toploading laboratory balance designed for high‑precision work in demanding environments. With a maximum capacity of 220 g and a readability of 0.01 g, it delivers reliable results for routine weighing, formulation, and analytical tasks. The balance features a generous 5.7 in (145 mm) diameter pan that accommodates a variety of sample containers, from small vials to larger beakers, while maintaining stability and accuracy.

Constructed from a robust stainless‑steel chassis, the Navigator NV222 meets the durability requirements of busy labs and field settings. The enclosure protects internal components from dust, moisture, and accidental impacts, extending the instrument’s service life. Power options include an AC adaptor (included) for continuous operation and the ability to run on four C‑size batteries (not included) for mobile or off‑grid use, providing flexibility for any workflow.

Calibration is straightforward thanks to an intuitive interface and built‑in internal calibration weights. The balance supports a full‑capacity tare function, allowing users to subtract the weight of containers or accessories directly, simplifying multi‑step weighing procedures. The tare range extends across the entire capacity, ensuring that even the heaviest containers can be accounted for without compromising measurement precision.

The Navigator NV222 features a clear, backlit LCD display that presents weight readings, units, and mode indicators in an easy‑to‑read format. Navigation keys are ergonomically placed for quick access to weighing modes, unit selection, and system settings. The balance supports a range of units—including grams, kilograms, newtons, ounces, carats, and grains—catering to diverse industry standards and user preferences.

Compliance with international standards such as ISO 9001 and CE marking underscores the balance’s quality and safety. The device is designed to meet laboratory accreditation requirements, providing traceability and confidence in every measurement. Detailed documentation, including a user manual and calibration certificate, is supplied to facilitate rapid deployment and ongoing compliance.

Usage

In research laboratories, the Navigator NV222 excels at routine analytical weighing, sample preparation, and formulation tasks. Its high readability enables detection of minute mass changes, essential for experiments that demand tight tolerances. The balance’s compact footprint allows it to fit on benchtops alongside other critical equipment without sacrificing performance.

Quality‑control departments in pharmaceutical and food production benefit from the balance’s rapid weighing capabilities and multiple unit options. Operators can quickly switch between grams, milligrams, and ounces to match product specifications, while the parts‑counting mode streamlines inventory verification and component counting processes.

Educational institutions use the Navigator NV222 to teach fundamental principles of mass measurement and laboratory best practices. Students gain hands‑on experience with a professional‑grade instrument, learning to calibrate, tare, and interpret data accurately, preparing them for careers in science and engineering.

Field technicians conducting on‑site inspections or environmental sampling appreciate the balance’s portability and battery operation. Whether measuring soil samples, water quality parameters, or portable device components, the balance delivers consistent results regardless of location.

FAQ

What is the maximum weight the balance can handle while still providing 0.01 g readability?

The Navigator NV222 maintains its 0.01 g readability across its full capacity of 220 g. This means you can weigh any load up to 220 g and still achieve the same level of precision, making it suitable for both light and moderately heavy samples.

Can the balance be used with external calibration weights?

Yes, the balance supports external calibration weights for users who require custom calibration procedures. While the unit includes internal calibration routines, you may also perform manual calibrations using certified external weights to meet specific regulatory or laboratory standards.

How does the parts‑counting mode work?

In parts‑counting mode, you first tare the weight of a single item, then the balance automatically calculates the number of identical items based on the total weight displayed. This feature is ideal for inventory control, component counting, and quality‑inspection tasks where rapid quantification is needed.

What warranty and service options are available?

The Navigator NV222 comes with a standard two‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failures. Extended service contracts and calibration services are also available through Ohaus authorized service providers, ensuring long‑term reliability and compliance.

Is the balance suitable for use in temperature‑controlled environments?

Yes, the balance is designed to operate within typical laboratory temperature ranges (15 °C to 30 °C). For applications requiring stricter temperature control, it can be placed inside an environmental chamber, and its performance will remain consistent as long as the chamber maintains stable conditions.
