1 Introduction
Disclaimer for comparators
In this document, the term "balance" is used to describe both balances and comparators.
Comparators are characterized by their higher resolution compared to balances and are mainly used for differ-
ential weighing application, such as the calibration of standard weights. Beside standard balance tests,
comparators have also been tested with differential repeatability (ABA repeatability) during production.
Thank you for choosing a METTLER TOLEDO balance. The balance combines high performance with ease of
use.

6.1 Weighing Methods
6.1.1 Introduction
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.
The changes performed to a method are recorded in the change history (if activated).
This chapter guides you step-by-step through the different methods. Next you will get an overview about all
possible methods, before all methods are explained separately. Every method section is composed as follows:
• 1. Method description
• 2. Creating a new method
• 3. Configure the method parameter
• 4. Perform the method
• 5. Clone the method
• 6. Delete the method
6.1.2 Methods Overview

In the section Methods list you get an overview of all possible methods. In this section new methods can be
defined, existing methods can be edited, cloned or deleted. It is also the starting point for using any method in
a weighing procedure.

6.1.3 Method General Weighing
6.1.3.1 Method description

This section describes the 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.
This section describes how to create a new method with the method wizard, how to work with the method and
the method settings. The parameter 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 for the weighing item. Templates are helpful to save time while weighing items with the same
parameters and to ensure the consistent use of the parameters. For further information see Using templates.
In the section Method settings the descriptions of the settings for both methods General Weighing and General
Weighing with templates can be found.

6.1.6 Method Simple formulation

This section describes the method Simple formulation. With the method Simple formulation the concentration
of a substance can automatically be calculated.
This section describes how to create a new method with the method wizard, how to work with the method and
the method settings. The parameter 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 define the parameters for the weighing item ad-hoc
while weighing or pre-defined on a method level for all weighing items.
• Simple formulation with templates: Select this method if you want to use a template to define the
parameters for the weighing item. Templates are helpful to safe time while weighing items with the same
parameters and to ensure the consistent use of the parameters. For further information see Using templates.
In the section Method settings the settings for both methods Simple formulation and Simple formulation with
templates can be found.

6.1.7 Method Titration

The method Titration enables the interaction between the balance and the titrator via MT-SICS or RFID-tag. The
optional RFID reader enables data to be read from and written to an RFID tag. The RFID tag serves as a data
carrier between the balance and titrator. The RFID tag placed on the base of a titrating beaker easily and reliably
transfers the sample data, e.g. sample ID and weight. For available RFID reader, see chapter "Accessories".

6.1.8 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
The method type Solid determines the density of a solid with the help of a density kit.
Liquid (Sinker)
The method type Liquid (Sinker) determines the density of a liquid with the help of a density kit and a sinker.
Liquid (Pycnometer)
The method type Liquid (Pycnometer) determines the density of a liquid in a glass vessel (e.g. pycnometer).

6.1.9 Using method templates
This section describes how to work with templates.
Working with templates simplifies the task and improves the quality of the whole working process. Charac-
teristic information such as a certain target weight 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 are methods in
which templates are being used.
6.1.9.1 Define a template

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 ad-hoc during a task.
Note
Defining templates is a single step in the method creating process. In this section we only describe how to
create templates. For more information about how defining a method see in the sections of the various
methods.
6.1.9.2 Define a template in the method defining process

This example describes how to define a template for the method General Weighing with templates.
2 Tap New method.
3 Select Method type General Weighing with templates.
4 Step through the method wizard until step 4. Templates.
ð The dialog screen 4. Templates appears, the sample 1 can be defined.
5 Tap Unit to select the template unit.
6 Tap Target weight to define the target weight.
ð The options ‒Tolerance and +Tolerance appear.
7 Tap ‒Tolerance to define the lower tolerance.
8 Tap +Tolerance to define the upper tolerance.
9 Tap Next.
10 Tap Finish.
ð The method has been created and appears in the method list.
Note
This example only describes how to create templates for the method General Weighing with templates. For
the other methods there might be several other options that can be defined.
6.1.9.3 Define templates in a current task

It is also possible to create templates ad-hoc in a current task. This example describes how to create templates
for the method General Weighing, respectively for the method General Weighing with templates.
1 Start the method General Weighing.
2 Perform 3 weighings and add the results to the protocol by tapping Add to protocol.
ð The results appear in the section Protocol on the right side of the screen.
3 Tap More.
4 Tap Save as method with templates.

5 Define Method name.
6 Tap OK.
ð The method General Weighing has changed to the method General Weighing with templates. Tap the
results in the section Protocol and define the options for the template.
6.1.9.4 Work with templates

After the template has been created within a method, it can be used in a task.
2 Select a method from the list or define a new method.
3 Tap Start method.
ð The method work screen opens. The target weight and the tolerance limits that have been defined in the
template appear.
6.2 Tasks
A method will be held as a task in the task section of the methods menu. It will be paused as a task if any other
method is launched without the current method being completed. The method can be paused if it contains one
or more weighing results, or has had certain method settings changed.
Navigation: Methods > Tasks
Note
The method that is currently used in the background is labeled with the symbol and cannot be canceled. To
cancel the task, another task must be activated.
6.2.1 Deleting a task

A task can be deleted when not in use.
Navigation: Methods > Tasks
1 Select the task to be deleted and tap Cancel.
ð The dialog Cancel task? opens.
2 To delete the task tap OK, to cancel the delete procedure tap Cancel.
6.3 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.
Navigation: Methods > Tests
6.3.1 Overview routine tests
6.3.1.1 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 value through off-center
(eccentric) loading. The corner load increases with the weight of the load and its distance from the center of the
weighing pan support. If the display remains consistent, even when the same load is placed on different parts
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 ... 5).
6.3.1.2 Repeatability test

The repeatability test calculates the mean and 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.
6.3.1.3 Sensitivity tests

The sensitivity of the balance defines the degree of responsiveness to a change of load. In other words the
sensitivity defines the minimal variation in mass the balance can detect. Therefore, a mass smaller than the
sensitivity of a balance will not be detectable. The sensitivity 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
• Sensitivity - Tare - 2 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with three test weights. The first test weight (tare
