Weighing is a relatively slow process and often requires a considerable tim
e within investigation procedures or production processes. Measures for the
speeding-up of weighing are discussed, two cases being considered:
1. If slow reactions are observed, the equilibrium value can be extrapolate
d from the mass change curve.
2. If the reaction is faster than the balance response, the damping device
can be manipulated and/or the equilibrium value can be calculated from the
oscillating balance readings.
