Analytical Balance
Product Code : EL-B-10734
Quick answer: The Analytical Balance is a mechanical two-pan balance for precise quantitative weighing, such as weighing primary standards and precipitates in chemistry practicals. It has 200 g capacity with 0.1 mg sensitivity, a short triangular beam with rider scale, and a fully glazed wooden case that shields the pans from draughts. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for school, college and research laboratories.

How the analytical balance is used
An analytical balance is chosen when a mass must be known to a fraction of a milligram, for example when weighing a primary standard for a titration or a dried precipitate in gravimetric analysis. The short triangular beam is light and stiff, so it settles quickly, and the rider slide moves a small rider along the engraved rider scale to add fractions of a gram without opening the case to change weights.
The glazed case matters as much as the beam. At 0.1 mg sensitivity, air currents from a doorway or a student's breath are enough to move the pointer, so every weighing is read with the glass doors shut. When the balance is idle, the extended beam supports take the load off the agate knife edges, which keeps the edges sharp and the sensitivity stable over years of use.
- Level the case with the levelling screws before the first weighing of the session.
- Close the doors, release the beam and note the rest point with empty pans.
- Arrest the beam, place the sample in a weighing bottle on the left pan and add weights to the right pan.
- Make the final adjustment with the rider on the rider scale, keeping the doors closed.
- Arrest the beam before removing the sample, then add up the weights and the rider reading.

Frequently asked questions
What is the sensitivity of the analytical balance?
The balance has a sensitivity of 0.1 mg and a capacity of 200 g.
How are the knife edges of the analytical balance protected?
Extended beam supports relieve the agate knife edges when the balance is at rest, so the edges are not loaded between weighings.
