Triple beam balance definition.
The parts of triple beam balance are identified as the following.
It s generally recommended for use in chemistry and physics courses.
On one side of this beam is a pan on which the object to be measured is placed while on the other side the beam is split into three parallel beams each carrying a known weight and together culminating into a pointer pointing to a fixed scale.
Use this educational classroom poster in your science lessons to highlight the key parts of a triple beam balance scale.
The triple beam balance is a measuring instrument comprising a beam supported on a fulcrum.
Weighing pan the area in which an object is placed in order to be weighed.
The maximum weight a triple beam balance can measure is 600 grams.
Base the base rests underneath the weighing pan and can usually be customised to fit on a workbench or set up with tripod legs.
