A double beam balance is a balance comprising of a lever that has two equal arms and a pan suspended from every arm. The pan is where the object to be measured is placed. It also has two beams that have sliding weights to record the measurement.
There are two general types of double beam balance scales. The first is the tabletop kind that is most often seen in laboratories. The second type is more familiar to the general population because it is commonly used in a doctor’s office to determine your weight. Both types have a pan on which the object being measured is placed and two beams with sliding weights to record the measurement. The method for using both types is the same.
Instructions
1        Check the beam to make sure it is balanced with nothing on the scale.
2        Place the object to be weighed on the pan. If you are using a doctor’s scale, stand on the pan. The indicator will move upward.
3        Slide the larger weight along its beam until the indicator points downward. Many scales will have notches for the larger weight. Once the indicator falls, slide the weight back one notch. The indicator should rise again slightly above the center mark.
4        Slide the smaller weight along its beam until the indicator is balanced and points to the center mark. This smaller weight allows greater precision than a single weight on a single beam
5        Read the values indicated on each beam’s scale and combine them to get the object’s or person’s weight.

Instructions on use

  • The triple beam balance is used to measure masses very precisely; the reading error is 0.05 gram.
  • With the pan empty, move the three sliders on the three beams to their leftmost positions, so that the balance reads zero. If the indicator on the far right is not aligned with the fixed mark, then calibrate the balance by turning the set screw on the left under the pan.
  • Once the balance has been calibrated, place the object to be measured on the pan.
  • Move the 100 gram slider along the beam to the right until the indicator drops below the fixed mark. The notched position immediately to the left of this point indicates the number of hundreds of grams.
  • Now move the 10 gram slider along the beam to the right until the indicator drops below the fixed mark. The notched position immediately to the left of this point indicates the number of tens of grams.
  • The beam in front is not notched; the slider can move anywhere along the beam. The boldface numbers on this beam are grams and the tick marks between the boldface numbers indicate tenths of grams.
  • To find the mass of the object on the pan, simple add the numbers from the three beams.
  • As with a ruler, it is possible to read the front scale to the nearest half tick mark.

Newton Spring Scale

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014
Newton Spring scale
The spring balance actually measures force, but for convenience is calibrated in kg on the basis that when it is used normally [weight force] = m * g where m is the mass in kg and g the acceleration due to gravity. (9.8 m/s^2)
So you just need to multiply the scale reading by 9.8 to get the force measurement in newtons.
1 kg reading => 9.8 N
2 kg reading => 19.6 N etc
Scales measure force…by definition
Balances measure mass.

Scales calibrated in kilograms are only done so for convenience, because we often use them to weigh in Earth standard gravity, and what we really want is the mass, but we cheat by using the scale instead of the balance.

Newtons aren’t a very popular unit in common use outside the study of physics…unfortunately, and so is the distinction of mass vs weight unpopular for one to understand.

For this reason, a 1 kg reading on a spring scale refers to 9.8 Newtons of tension, and it scales proportionally. This refers to the TENSION force with which the spring scale pulls on something.

If used to measure friction force, it is only done so indirectly. Because the target object is, in a good experiment, pulled at constant velocity, forces on it add up to zero, and as such, the tension need fully oppose the friction, should the scale be pulled horizontally and should the surface be flat.

A quadruple-beam balance is a handy laboratory tool to have when you need to weigh small items to a hundredth-gram precision. The beams are horizontal metal rails that hold sliding counterweights, starting with 100 grams and going down to a tenth-gram. The first beam is furthest back from the user; it holds the 100-gram mass, the second is closer, having the 10-gram, and so on. The tenth-gram beam is marked in .01-gram increments. An adjustable weighted screw on the left lets you precisely zero the scale. On the right is a tilting indicator. It’s vertically centered when the scale’s in balance, otherwise it’s over-or under-balanced.

How to Use a Quadruple Beam Balance
Instructions
1 Slide all the masses to the left most position or detent. With nothing in the pan, the indicator on the right should be horizontal, lined up with the mark. If it’s not, adjust the calibration screw on the left until the scale is completely balanced.
2   Add a few coins to the weighing pan. The indicator will tip up, showing that the scale is now under-balanced.
3 Move the largest mass (100g) right, until the scale overbalances with the indicator tipping downward. Then move it to the left one detent to under-balance it again. If the largest mass won’t overbalance the scale, go to the next step. It’s possible the object you’re weighing is too heavy for this scale.
4 Move the next-largest mass (10g) right, detent by detent, till the scale overbalances, as you did in step 3. Then move it to the left one detent.
5 Move the 3rd mass (1g) right, detent by detent, till the scale overbalances. Move it to the left one detent.
6 Move the smallest mass (.1g) carefully to the right until the scale is completely balanced. If all the masses are completely over to the right and the scale is still under-balanced, your object is too heavy for this scale.
7 Add the masses multiplied by the detents to determine the weight of your object. The first detent won’t count. Read the weight on the tenth-gram scale directly. For example, if the 100-gram mass is at its leftmost (first) detent, the 10-gram is at the fifth, the 1-gram is on the 8th, and the tenth-gram reads .56, the weight is (100 x 0) + (10 x 4) + (1 x 7) + .56 = 47.56 grams.
Tips & Warnings
When moving the first, second, and third masses, make sure they go into the detent notches in their respective beams. The fourth mass (.1 gram) may not have a detent.
How to Read a Quadruple Beam Balance
Using an electronic balance may be the easiest way to determine the mass of an object, but it can be beneficial to learn how to measure mass the old-fashioned way: with a beam balance. While triple beam balances are more common, a quadruple beam balance offers more accuracy. In fact, quadruple beam balances are even more accurate than many electronic balances.
Instructions
1        Calibrate the scale to make sure it reads zero when it is empty. Locate the screw adjustment knob and rotate it until the bar points directly to the middle of the balance.
2        Place the object to be weighed on the balance. Adjust the weights until the bar is pointing directly to the middle again. If the bar is pointing up, your current measurement is too low; if it is pointing down, your current measurement is too high.
3        Record the measurements of the largest three rows first. If one reads zero, disregard it. Read the last row, but be sure to take into account significant figures.
4        Add the readings of all four rows together. This is the weight of the object.
Tips & Warnings
For the smallest row, you have to take into account significant figures. You are allowed to take a one-decimal-place guess. For example, if you know it is past 0.13 but it is not quite to 0.14, you can guess that last decimal place.
If you don’t calibrate the scale to begin with, your readings will be off. Take the time to make sure it is set to zero before you weigh your object.
