Another type of mechanical balance is usually referred to as a weighing scale. This balance requires a person to stand on a platform and slide several weights across a marked beam until the beams are level. These balances are generally found in physician's offices, school infirmaries, fitness centers, gyms, and health clubs.
A triple beam balance is used to accurately measure mass to a high degree of precision. Triple beam balances are usually inexpensive, mechanical-based weighing instruments that are ideal for teaching students concepts of mass measurement in a classroom environment.
Mechanical balances measure unknown mass against known weights on the other side and calculating the weight reading when the mass is level on both sides. It uses levers and counterweights to measure mass. Adam's TBB Triple Beam balance is an excellent example: it uses counterweights slid across three beams to help balance the item and determine its weight.
The benefit of a mechanical balance is its durability and having no need for electricity or batteries. Their inherent durability also means that they can withstand harsh environments more effectively. Mechanical balances are also often a more cost-effective solution if you're on budget.
Yes, a mechanical balance can measure liquids. You would need to place a container on the balance and tare to zero before adding the liquid you want to measure. Then to measure the liquid's weight, you would use the leveling system on the balance with counterweights to see the differences in mass. Our TBB Triple Beam Balance also offers a below-balance hook, which can be used for density determination.
