Mass Measuring Equipment
Analytical Balance
The analytical balance is the common piece of equipment in the scientific laboratory. These highly precise instruments can measure down to ten thousandths or even hundred thousandths of a gram. Modern analytical balances use a complex system of electronic sensors to accurately mass a substance. The analytical balance is so sensitive that it often has a draft shield to prevent air currents from interfering with the measurement.

Centigram Balance
A centigram balance is employed for in all sorts of environments including classrooms, scientific laboratories, food stores, outer space and anywhere else where the mass of something must be measured. It is a metric unit that is equal to 1/100 of a gram. The scale can measure objects to the nearest 0.01 grams. It increases efficiency in calculating the weight of an object.

Platform Balance
A platform balance is a laboratory apparatus which is used for weighing objects. The balance has two platforms either mounted on or suspended from a cross-arm, and weights are placed on one platform until they balance the object being weighed. Platform balances are simple devices, and are convenient in that they do not need any power to function.

Triple Beam Balance
The triple beam balance is a type of scale that uses counterweights on a three rider beams to counterbalance the sample in the pan.
