About This Product
A triple beam balance teaches students to find mass by moving riders along graduated beams until the pointer settles at zero. It is used for weighing chemicals, finding the density of solids and liquids and other routine mass measurements in school science. Educational Instrument can arrange export supply of the Balance Triple Beam to Benin, Grenada, Belgium, Kiribati and Mongolia.
