5.2 Methods
A weighing method is an application for carrying out specific weighing tasks. The balance offers the method
"General Weighing" with default parameters. You have the possibility to create a maximum of 50 methods and
edit the methods. You can use these methods for your weighing task or edit them according to your
requirements. Methods can also be deleted or cloned.
To support you while configuring new methods, a configuration wizard leads you through the whole process.

5.2.1 Methods overview

The section Methods list provides an overview of all methods already created on the balance. In this section,
new methods can be defined and existing methods can be edited, cloned or deleted. It is also the starting point
for using any method in a weighing procedure.
Navigation: Methods > Methods list
The following methods are available:
• General Weighing (see Method General weighing)
• Interval weighing (see Method Interval weighing)
• Piece counting (see Method Piece counting)
• Simple formulation (see Method Simple formulation )
• Titration (see Method Titration )
• Density determination (see Method Density determination )

5.2.2 Method "General weighing"

The method General Weighing offers the basic weighing functions (zeroing, taring, weighing). The method is
used for simple weighing tasks or to perform a series of check weighing or dosing.
The parameters of the weighing item, e.g., sample ID and target weight, can either be entered manually or by
using a template. Therefore two different methods exist:
• General Weighing: Select this method if you want to work without pre-defined templates.
• General Weighing with templates: Select this method if you want to use a template to define the
parameters individually for each single weighing item. Templates are particularly useful when the weighing
task consists of a series of weighings, each with its own individual parameters, such as target weight,
tolerances, etc. For further information, see [Using method templates } Page 42].

5.2.3 Method "Simple formulation"

With the method Simple formulation the concentration of a substance can automatically be calculated.
The parameters of the weighing item, e.g., sample ID and target weight, can either be entered manually or by
using a template. Therefore two different methods exist:
• Simple formulation: Select this method if you want to weigh a single component in a volumetric flask and
have the concentration calculated automatically.
• Simple formulation with templates: Select this method if you want to follow a predefined solution recipe of
one or several components. Templates are particularly useful when the weighing task consists of a series of
weighings, each with its own individual parameters, such as target weight, tolerances, etc. For further infor-
mation, see [Using method templates } Page 42].

5.2.6 Method "Density determination"

The method Density determination is used for determining the density of solids and liquids. Density determi-
nation is carried out based on Archimedes' principle according to which a body immersed in a fluid
undergoes an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Furthermore the
density method also supports the pycnometer method, which does not rely on Archimedes' principle. The
method Density determination includes three method types:
Solid: determines the density of a solid with the help of a density kit
Liquid (sinker): determines the density of a liquid with the help of a density kit and a sinker
Liquid (pycnometer): determines the density of a liquid in a glass vessel, e.g. pycnometer

deleted.

5.2.10 Using method templates

Working with templates can simplify the workflow, especially when several weighings with different predefined
target weights have to be carried out one after the other. Characteristic information such as a target weight and
tolerances can be defined in a template and must not be defined for every single weighing task. This may save
time, especially when the weighing process consists of multiple steps.
The methods General Weighing with templates and Simple formulation with templates use templates.
Before a template can be used in the weighing process, it must be defined. There are two ways to define
templates:
• The templates can be defined directly in the method creating process.
• The templates can be defined during the execution of a task within a method of the same type, without
templates.

5.3 Tests
Routine tests can be performed to ensure accurate weighing results according to GWP® or other QM systems.
Therefore the tests should be performed in fixed, regular intervals depending on your QM system and the results
should be documented in a traceable way.

Precision Balances Operation​​ 43

 Navigation: Methods > Tests

5.3.1 Overview routine tests

METTLER TOLEDO can help you to define the routine tests to be performed based on your process requirements.
Please contact your local METTLER TOLEDO representative for additional information.

5.3.1.1 Eccentricity test

The purpose of the eccentricity test is to check if every eccentric
load deviation (corner load deviation) is within the user SOP
tolerances. The corner load is the deviation of the measurement 3
value through off-center (eccentric) loading. The corner load
increases with the weight of the load and its distance from the 2 1 4
center of the weighing pan support. If the display remains
consistent, even when the same load is placed on different parts 5
of the weighing pan, the balance does not have corner load
deviation.
The result corresponds to the highest of the four determined
eccentric load deviations (2 to 5).

5.3.1.2 Repeatability test

The repeatability test calculates the standard deviation of a series of measurements with a single test weight in
order to determine the repeatability of the balance.
Repeatability is a measure of the ability of a balance to supply the same result in repetitive weighings with one
and the same load under the same measurement conditions. During the test, the same load is placed and
measured in different parts of the weighing pan. Afterwards, the difference between the measured weight values
is calculated. The spread of the measured results leads to the repeatability.
Repeatability is highly affected by the ambient conditions (drafts, temperature fluctuations and vibrations) and
also by the skill of the person performing the weighing. Therefore, the series of measurements must be carried
out by the same operator, in the same location, under constant ambient conditions and without interruption.
The following test types are available:
• Repeatab. - 1 TP: To test repeatability of the balance without tare weight.
• Repeatab. - Tare - 1 TP: To test repeatability of the balance with tare weight. The first test weight (tare
weight) is used to simulate a tare container.

5.3.1.3 Sensitivity tests

The sensitivity of the balance defines the deviation between the balance reading and the actual load. The sensi-
tivity test allows you to measure the sensitivity using one or two test points.
The following test types are available:
• Sensitivity - 1 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with one test weight.
• Sensitivity - 2 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with two test weights.
• Sensitivity - Tare - 1 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with two test weights. The first test weight (tare
weight) is used to simulate a tare container.
• Sensitivity - Tare - 2 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with three test weights. The first test weight (tare
weight) is used to simulate a tare container.

5.3.2 Creating an own new test

Before a test can be performed, the test settings have to be defined. A test wizard is leading you step-by-step
through the process.

 9.2 Explanatory notes for the METTLER TOLEDO AC/DC adapter
The certified external AC/DC adapter complies to the requirements for Class II double insulated equipment. It is
not provided with a protective earth connection but with a functional earth connection for EMC purposes. This
earth connection is not a safety feature. Further information about the compliance of our products can be found
in the "Declaration of Conformity" delivered with every product.
In case of testing with regard to the European Directive 2001/95/EC, the AC/DC adapter and the instrument
have to be handled as Class II double insulated equipment.
Consequently, a grounding test is not required. It is Plastic housing
not necessary to carry out a grounding test between
the earth connector of the power plug and any Double insulation
