Abstract
Weighing is a relatively slow process and often requires a considerable time 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 extrapolated 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.
