Triple Beam Balance- used to measure the mass of objects.

uAlways carry a T.B.B. by the base, not the beams!.

uBefore you calculate the mass of an object, make sure the riders are at 0.

uThen calibrate the T.B.B. by turning the little knob at the end (indicator)! But make sure the table is still and its NOT moving.
