Description

Triple beam balance, mechanical lab balance, and analog weighing scale are indispensable tools for any laboratory where electricity-free, precise weight measurements are required. This Triple Beam Balance is a time-tested, durable solution for weighing solids, powders, and containers — ideal for educational institutions, chemical labs, agricultural research, and on-site field testing.

The instrument uses a traditional three-beam design, allowing users to measure mass up to 610 grams with a readability of 0.1 g. Its analog design requires no batteries or power supply, making it an ideal weighing solution for remote locations or environments where digital devices may not perform reliably due to electromagnetic interference.

Each of the three beams is equipped with sliding poise weights to measure large, medium, and fine increments. The main beam measures up to 500 g, the second up to 100 g, and the fine beam up to 10 g. Users simply move the sliders until equilibrium is achieved, and the total value is the sum of all poise positions.

The stainless steel weighing pan is resistant to corrosion and easy to clean, making it suitable for chemical substances, powdered reagents, biological samples, or geological specimens. The cast metal body provides exceptional durability, even in rugged lab environments or during frequent classroom use.

This triple beam balance aligns with core measurement standards such as ISO 80000-1, which outlines basic quantities in physics and measurement sciences. It’s widely used in schools and universities to teach students about manual weighing, mass vs. weight, center of gravity, and basic physics.

For laboratory use, it serves as a reliable backup to digital balances, offering long-lasting accuracy and minimal maintenance. Calibration is easily done using the built-in zero adjustment knob. The pan and poises can be locked for safe transportation.

Thanks to its portability, this balance is also well-suited for field research, including agricultural trials, ecological surveys, and mineral sample analysis. No charging, cords, or calibration software are needed — simply place the sample and measure.
