Testimonials
"I am pleased to recommend Tangent Labs LLC to anyone in need of a highly professional and competent ISO-17025 registered firm. We have found Tangent to be a valuable partner and resource in our ongoing requirement to operate a QMS with reliable measurement data.
We have found their people to be highly competent and personable, their help- with metrology issues always available, and their pricing reasonable for the value provided.
After calibration activity is concluded, the QMS relies on the reports of that activity. Tangent Labs excels in this matter. Their color reports are clear, accurate, and a joy to read for anyone concerned with measurement uncertainty and IM&TE status. This ISO-17025 certified lab also adds value-added service by making those reports accessible to us on their website in a secure manner. It is a very nice feeling to have this “back-up status” when we undergo our annual ISO/TS 16949 audit.
In the event we are in need of equipment, we know we can rely on Tangent for help in selecting the right equipment for the right measurement to assure quality.
I strongly recommend Tangent Labs LLC to anyone in search of a customer-oriented, internationally certified, calibration services firm."

MSI 4300 Port-A-Weigh Plus
MSI 4300 Port-A-Weigh Plus
To create its flagship crane scale, MSI integrated the industry's most advanced electronics, two decades of marine and industrial application experience, and a set of features never before offered on a crane scale. The result is the MSI-4300 Porta-Weigh Plus. It is a Bronze Award winner of Plant Engineering magazine and is recognized as the world's premier crane scale.
Specified by such companies as ALCOA, General Electric, Union Carbide, and Boeing Airplane Co., MSI's model 4300 gained prominence because of its performance and acceptance on the job. It incorporates advanced electronics with enhanced digital filtering to yield accurate and stable readings on every job, every time.
No other crane scale offers you a standard feature set comparable to the Porta-Weigh Plus. Its unique features include: a Total Register for accumulating total weight and number of weighments, user-defined Set Points to indicate attainment of a target weight or overload, 10 presettable Tare Memories, and Peak Hold to capture and hold the highest applied load.
For operator convenience, MSI designed the Porta-Weigh Plus with a large liquid crystal display that features six-digit weight indication and light emitting diode (LED) backlighting. A secondary alphanumeric display, directly beneath the weight reading, annunciates the weigh mode and guides the user through calibration and setup.
The scale is powered by a rechargeable 12 volt sealed lead acid (SLA) battery that provides up to 300 hours of continuous use between charges.
Additional options include: infrared remote controller; audible alarm; RS232 data output and relay output to interface with computers, printers and process controllers, oversized top and bottom fittings, and alkaline battery power.
Please see the MSI-4300 specifications for standard product configuration and available options. Existing users, see Product Bulletin to learn about cost saving retrofit opportunities.
MSI quality products are sold and serviced worldwide by factory authorized distributors and backed by a full one year warranty.
