Balance Single Pan
Product Code : EL-B-10736
Quick answer: The single pan balance is a four-beam mechanical balance that weighs up to 311 g in 10 mg steps without separate masses, used for general weighing and density determination in science practicals. Magnetic damping brings the beam to rest quickly, and the stainless steel pan has two pouring spouts. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for school, college and industrial laboratories.

How the single pan balance is used
On this balance the known masses are built into the beams. Each of the four beams carries its own slider that cannot be lifted off, so nothing can be lost or mixed up between classes. The sample goes on the stainless steel pan and the sliders are moved, largest first, until the pointer returns to the zero mark; the mass is then the sum of the four beam readings.
Magnetic damping stops the beam oscillating within moments, which makes the balance quick to use with a full class. The platform housed in the base is used for density determination, where a solid is weighed in air and then in water: the apparent loss of mass in grams equals its volume in cubic centimetres, and density = mass / volume.
- Place the balance on a level bench, set all four sliders to zero and use the zero adjustment to line up the pointer.
- Put the sample on the pan.
- Move the 100 g slider notch by notch until the pointer drops below zero, then back one notch; repeat on the 10 g and 1 g beams.
- Slide the fourth beam until the pointer rests at zero.
- Add the four readings to get the mass, for example 200 + 30 + 4 + 0.56 = 234.56 g.
