When investigating the market for Hazardous Area scales several necessary specifications of the scale may come to mind. The primary single one of these factors being the scale operator's safety. This starts by assessing the Factory Mutual rating to assure that the meets the requirements for the application and area it will be used. Ratings can include Class I, II or III, Division I with Groups A, B, C, D, E, F and G depending on the application. There are also certifications for scales for indoor hazardous locations or Class II, Division 2, Groups F or G locations.

Hazardous area scales are available in many designs including platform scales, cylinder scales, drum scales and crane scales. There are also hazard-area scales available in load capacities ranging up to 100lbs for bench scales and up to 20,000lbs for floor scales. Some of the better quality scales use stainless steel load sensors which offer great shock load protection, durability, rust/corrosion resistance and overload protection unlike the less-expensive aluminum or nickel-plated load cell scales.
