AVK-1000 - Automatic Vacuum Mass Comparator

Product catalog summary
Overview
The AVK-1000 is an automatic vacuum mass comparator designed by RADWAG, primarily for national metrological institutes. It is used for the precise weighing and comparison of mass standards and silicone spheres, particularly the national reference mass standard of 1 kg. The device operates within a vacuum chamber capable of maintaining a vacuum of 10-6 mBar or an atmosphere of noble gases.

Specifications
  • Capacity and Readability: Maximum capacity of 1002 g with a readability of 0.1 µg.
  • Repeatability: 0.5 µg for nominal load.
  • Stabilization Time: 60 seconds.
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature range of +15 to +30 °C, with a change rate of ±0.1 °C/12 h. Relative humidity between 45% and 60%.
  • Dimensions: Overall dimensions are 1025 × 2600 × 1080 mm.

Key Features
  • Suspended Weighing Pan: Eliminates eccentricity errors, ensuring accurate measurements.
  • Load Lock System: Allows for the transfer of mass standards without altering the chamber's atmosphere, reducing vacuum attainment time to approximately 4 hours.
  • Modular Construction: The device can function with or without the Load Lock system, enhancing flexibility and optimization.
  • Ambient Conditions Monitoring: Equipped with a vacuum gauge and thermo-hygro-barometer for precise monitoring of environmental conditions.

Measurement and Calibration
  • Comparison Capability: Can compare up to 6 artefacts of cylindrical or spherical shape, each with a maximum mass of 1 kg.
  • Calibration Range: OIML calibration range from 100 g to 1 kg.
  • External Adjustment: Includes external supplementary weights of 500 g, 800 g, and 900 g.

Design and Construction
  • Vacuum Chamber: Specially designed to maintain a vacuum of 10-6 mBar or noble gas atmosphere.
  • Pump Separation: Mechanical design allows for the separation of pumps to prevent vibration transfer.
  • Communication Interfaces: Includes 2×USB-A, Ethernet, 2×RS 232, 4×IN, 4×OUT, and Wi-Fi® connectivity.

Conclusion
The AVK-1000 offers high precision and accuracy for mass comparison in vacuum conditions, making it an essential tool for metrological institutes. Its advanced features, such as the Load Lock system and ambient condition monitoring, ensure reliable and efficient operation.
