Abstract:
1. A gravimetric measuring instrument, comprising: a weighing cell, comprising: a flexible tubular-shaped encapsulation, one end of which is attached to the stationary parallelogram leg and the other end of which is attached to the movable parallelogram leg, so that at least the parallel-guiding mechanism and the measurement transducer are enclosed by the encapsulation and thereby protected against dirt and humidity; an adjustment region, formed at at least one of the respective parallelogram legs, the adjustment region allowing adjustment of a distance between at least one of the flexure pivots of the upper parallel-guiding member and one of the flexure pivots of the lower parallel-guiding member, and an adjustment-setting area, arranged outside the encapsulation and mechanically connected to the adjustment region, to allow changes to be made thereto.
