A balance.
Not true, it must be on a balance pan.

Mass being matter contained in a body is usually measured by beam balance or physical balance whereas weight is measured by a spring balance for it depends on gravitational pull of a particular place and can be zero.
A balance allows the mass of an object to be found by comparison with a standard mass. The device is in balance when the objects are of equal mass, so it does not depend on the right value of gravity, as a spring 'balance' does.

Any object can be measured in mass weirdo...
There is no specific "unit of balance".For an object to be in balance, two conditions must be fulfilled:The sum of all forces on the object must be zero. In the SI, forces are measured in newtons.The sum of all torques on the object must be zero. In the SI, torques are measured in newton-meters.

Think of Mass as the amount of Matter("Stuff") in an object. Mass is measured with a "Triple Beam Balance".
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of another.Mass is measured by physical balance.Weight is measured by a spring balance.
A ruler (some say it should be called a rule!) is marked along an edge with (nowadays) centimetres and millimetres. Place the zero mark on the ruler at the start of the object to be measured, and read off the measurement at the other end of the object.

measure with a ruler the length, width and height and multiply lxwxh
mass is measured with a triple beam balance but the balance works because of gravity weight can change but mass cannot.
