A triple beam balance is a type of scale commonly used in the laboratory to determine the mass (by weight comparison) of samples. To use the balance, you use sliding weights called riders on three beams, each with progressively small incremental amounts.
Familiar versions of the concept are seen in sliding bar postal scales, and in the older scales used in doctors' offices (which similarly have multiple beams).
The larger increments may be 100 grams and 10 grams, and the final beam will display in grams and decimal fractions of a gram.

What tool would you use to measure mass in grams?
a small scale.....You would use a triple beam balance or a pan balance.a balance.
What does triple beam balance mean in science?
These are weighing instruments that have 3 (triple) scales instead of only 1 which makes them very sensitive and rather accurate. Look up 'Triple Beam Balance' or 'Beam Balance' triple.
What limits the precision of a triple balance beam?
The smallest scale division of a triple beam balance is .1 grams. This means that its measuring error is .01 grams.
What a triple beam balance measures in units?
The normal triple beam balance reads in grams. The larger increments are 100 and 10 grams, and the final beam may measure continuously in grams and decimal fractions .
What is the unit of measure for a triple beam balance?
The normal triple beam balance reads in grams. The larger increments are 100 and 10 grams, and the final beam may measure continuously in grams and decimal fractions of a gram.
What is another name for the triple beam balance?
A common alternative name for the triple beam balance is the triple beam scale.
Triple-beam balance definition?

What measures a triple-beam balance?
A triple beam balance measure a mass.It is a precise tool used in laboratories.
Can you use a triple beam balance to measure the volume of an object?
No, a triple balance beam will measure the mass of an object but not its volume.
Triple beam balance number of sliders?
Triple Beam balances have 3 sliders.
What is the difference between triple beam balance and spring balance?
