Triple beam balance

Triple beam balance

The triple beam balance is an instrument used to measure mass very precisely.[1] The device has reading error of +/- 0.05 gram. The name refers to the three beams including the middle beam which is the largest size, the front beam which is the medium size, and the far beam which is the smallest size. The difference in size of the beams indicate the difference in weights and reading scale that each beam carry. The reading scale can be enumerated that the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the front beam can read from 0 to 10 grams, and the far beam can read in 10 gram increments.[2] The triple beam balance can be used to measure mass directly from the objects, find mass by difference for liquid, and measure out a substance.
