AZA 1102 SLUMP TEST APPARATUS

Description

Triple beam balance, vernier scale balance, and mechanical lab balance are essential tools in laboratories and educational settings that require precise, analog mass measurement. This Triple Beam Balance with Vernier offers robust construction, fine resolution, and long-term accuracy — ideal for chemistry labs, biology departments, quality control labs, and field experiments.

The instrument features a three-beam design with a sliding poise system that enables weight measurements up to 610 g (standard models) with a readability of 0.01 g, enhanced by the addition of a vernier scale. The vernier adjustment allows fine-tuning of readings, giving it an edge over conventional triple beam models. It’s particularly useful for manual calibration practices, weight comparisons, and teaching students foundational principles of mass and force.

Constructed with a cast metal base and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel pan, this balance is built for stability and long-term durability. The beams are calibrated to strict mechanical tolerances and can be adjusted using a zeroing knob and lockable counterweights. The inclusion of a vernier scale makes it suitable for use in applications requiring more precise readings than typical beam balances can offer.

This device requires no electricity, making it perfect for remote fieldwork, battery-free lab setups, or backup to electronic balances. It’s also highly regarded in educational environments due to its hands-on approach to teaching measurement accuracy, force equilibrium, and manual precision techniques.

Its smooth operation and simple design are compliant with ISO standards for non-digital laboratory weighing tools, and it’s widely used in line with ISO 80000-1 which defines base quantities and units in physical sciences. The pan is easily removable for cleaning and supports diverse sample types — powders, granules, solids, or containers.

With minimal maintenance requirements, the triple beam balance is a reliable, portable, and cost-effective weighing solution. It is commonly used in academic labs, agricultural research, geological fieldwork, and environments with electromagnetic interference where digital balances may not perform reliably.

FAQ:

Q1: What is a triple beam balance used for?
A1: It’s used for precise, manual weighing of samples in labs or classrooms, especially where electronic balances are not ideal.

Q2: What is the function of the vernier scale?
A2: The vernier scale provides finer resolution (up to 0.01 g), improving accuracy beyond standard triple beam balances.

Q3: Is this balance suitable for field use?
A3: Yes, it’s completely mechanical and doesn’t require power, making it ideal for remote or outdoor weighing applications.

Q4: How is calibration handled?
A4: Manual zero adjustment is done using the front dial and counterweights before each use.

Q5: Is it compliant with lab standards?
A5: Yes, it aligns with analog measurement principles defined in ISO 80000-1.
