About This Product
A beam balance with captive weights lets students weigh samples without handling loose weights: they slide the riders until the pointer settles on the index mark and add up the scale readings. It is used for routine weighing in chemistry and physics practicals. Schools, colleges and institutes in United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Eritrea and Laos can order the Balance Double Beam from Educational Instrument.
