In the overview you can see a few carat balances from our assortment. With these carat balances you can weigh for example gold or jewels in gram or carat. You can buy them with or without calibration. The RS232 cut and the optional software make it possible to assign the results of the weighing to your computer (except the HC-series). The computer evaluates the weighing. 
If you want to sell the gold or the jewels you must have carat balances which are calibrated. If you buy carat balances which are calibration-capable, we save your time and spare you the way to the gauging office. You mention your site and we take the carat balances with a calibration certificate. This applies to sites out of Germany.

Why do you need carat balances? Do you know how to assess gold or jewels? Carat describes the proportion between gold and another material in one rock together. 1 carat is 1/24 gold in the metal and 23/24 are other substances in that piece of rock. 24 carat is the maximum, but that is impossible. Usually 24 carat are 99,9% percent gold in that rock. All carat balances are verifiable (DKD- just at the site of the deployment- and DIN ISO). Carat balances have to be calibrated every year by the office, but the first time of calibrating of the product applies 2 years. 

Gauging: Carat balances have to gauge (EU-guideline 90/384 EWG) if they are used for the following purposes(the public department for gauging can gauge your product):
- In commercial traffic, if the price of the product depends on the weight
- In the production of pharmaceuticals (pharmacy) and analyzes in medical and pharmaceutical labor
- In official purposes for example for investigation of punishments and charges
- For the production of prepackages

If you want more information about the gauging of Carat Balances or do not know if you need gauged carat balances you can message the country-specific office for gauging. The gauging of the carat balances (carat balances which can be gauged) can be conducted at the first initial order or at recurring gauging. After a gauging by the office of gauging you are not allowed to calibrate the other carat balances. The first time of gauging is valid for 2 years. Then the carat balances have to be gauged every year.
