Adam AMTBB60606610G Triple Beam Balance 610g Scale, Stainless Steel Weighing Pan

The Adam AMTBB60606610G Triple Beam Balance has a capacity of 610g, a readability of 0.1g, a 152mm (6″) diameter stainless-steel weighing pan, fold-out tripod legs, and a weigh-below hook for laboratory and industrial weighing tasks. A fastening point for a Kensington key lock and cable (sold separately) can be used to deter theft. The balance has an aluminum frame with a slot for storing counterweights (sold separately). For density measurements, tripod legs (sold separately) may be attached to the frame. A mechanical balance is used in laboratories and other indoor settings for determining the mass of a liquid, paste, powder, or solid sample.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Balances and scales are measuring instruments used to determine the mass and weight, respectively, of an object. Unlike a balance, a scale’s accuracy is affected by gravity and must be recalibrated if it is relocated. In practice, the terms balance and scale are frequently used interchangeably, and the results are displayed in a variety of units, such as gram (g), ounce (oz), pound (lb), troy ounce (ozt), pennyweight (dwt), carat (ct), momme (mom), grain (GN), and tael (tl). The empty weight of a container used to hold objects (tare weight) on the balance or scale is removed prior to weighing, so that the scale reads zero with the container in place. The precision of both balances and scales is determined by the requirements of their intended use, and can be 0.0001g or better for analytical balances. Precision is verified and maintained with periodic calibration. For commercial use, scales and balances may be certified by organizations such as NSF International and National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP). Balances and scales may include data interfaces that allow connection to a computer, printer, or remote display. Balances and scales are made suitable for the environment in which they are used with protective housings, sealed keypads, and lighted displays. They may have built-in functions for tasks such as pill counting in pharmaceutical applications, postage calculations in shipping applications, or weight-totaling in warehouse applications. Balances and scales are used in a wide variety of applications and accommodate a wide range of weights.
