Description

The Triple Beam Balance with Vernier is a precision mechanical weighing instrument designed for accurate mass measurement in laboratory environments. It is ideal for testing applications involving cement, soil, chemicals, and powdered materials, where precision and durability are essential.

Unlike digital balances that rely on batteries and calibration electronics, this analog instrument offers long-term reliability and stability, making it a trusted tool in field labs and educational institutions alike.Triple Beam Balance with Vernier, Precision Lab Balance, ASTM E898.


 Function & Design:

This balance operates using three calibrated beams: the front beam typically measures up to 10g in 0.1g increments, the middle beam up to 500g in 100g increments, and the rear beam up to 100g in 10g increments. The Vernier scale further enhances accuracy, allowing users to read down to 0.01 grams.

A counterweight system ensures reliable repeatability without digital interference, and the stainless-steel pan provides corrosion resistance during handling of moist or chemically reactive materials.


Typical Uses:

  • Determining moisture content by weight difference

  • Soil sample mass verification for geotechnical testing

  • Cement and fine powder weighing

  • Educational demonstrations of mass and force

  • Calibration and verification of small lab items


 Compliance and Reference:

The instrument is manufactured in accordance with the guidelines laid out in ASTM E898, which covers specification and performance requirements for mass-measuring devices in laboratories. Its high level of accuracy, combined with the manual control offered by the triple beam plus vernier mechanism, makes it perfect for quality control and instructional applications.


 Key Features & Advantages:

  • Triple Beam with Vernier Accuracy: Achieves measurements accurate to 0.01g

  • Mechanical Reliability: Functions without batteries or electronics

  • Sturdy Metal Housing: With shock-resistant design and adjustable feet

  • Tare Adjustment Knob: For container weight subtraction

  • Low Maintenance: No calibration drift or sensor errors
