Abstract
In a drying balance with scale on top and with a radiation source for heating and drying material to be weighed located on the balance scale, the radiation source (11) is permanently located behind the balance scale (5) and a bent cover (7) which functions as a radiation deflector is movably located over the balance scale (5). This makes the construction lower and a moving of the radiation source (11) with its electric connections is avoided when the balance scale (5) is loaded. Moreover, differently constructed inner surfaces (7') of the cover (17) permit the drying balance to easily adapt to different radiation sources (11) and to different drying tasks.
