TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE WITH VERNIER AZA1087

Description

The balance operates using three calibrated beams combined with a Vernier scale, allowing precise mass measurements down to 0.01 grams. The mechanical design eliminates electronic drift, battery failure, or display errors, ensuring dependable operation even in remote or harsh environments.

A stainless steel weighing pan provides excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure, while the heavy cast-metal base ensures stability and vibration resistance during weighing.

Function & Working Principle

The AZA1087 features three independent beams:

• Front Beam: Measures up to 10 g in 0.1 g increments

• Middle Beam: Measures up to 500 g in 100 g increments

• Rear Beam: Measures up to 100 g in 10 g increments

A Vernier scale further refines measurement resolution, enabling readings as fine as 0.01 g. The balance point is indicated by a pointer and scale system, ensuring accurate visual confirmation of equilibrium.

An integrated tare adjustment knob allows subtraction of container weight, improving accuracy during sample measurement.

Typical Applications

AZA1087 is widely used across laboratories and institutions for:

• Soil mass determination in geotechnical testing

• Moisture content calculations (before-and-after weighing)

• Cement, lime, and fine powder analysis

• Educational demonstrations of mass, force, and equilibrium

• Calibration and verification of laboratory samples

• Field laboratory testing where power supply is unavailable

Standards & Compliance

The instrument is manufactured in accordance with ASTM E898, which specifies performance and accuracy requirements for laboratory mass-measuring devices. Compliance ensures dependable results suitable for quality control, research, and instructional use.
