Beranger Balance
Product Code : EL-B-10739
Quick answer: The Beranger Balance is a two-pan mechanical balance for comparison weighing in school and college practicals, built around a beam that pivots on a central knife edge. A pointer on the beam shows when the two sides are in balance, and a heavy base keeps the balance steady on the bench. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for school and college laboratories.

How the Beranger balance is used
The Beranger balance belongs to the family of top-pan balances that grew out of the Roberval design. Its beam rests on a single central knife edge, so it turns with very little friction, and the pointer fixed to the beam magnifies small differences between the two sides so they can be seen at a glance. The heavy base lowers the centre of gravity of the whole instrument and stops it rocking as masses are added.
Students use it to find mass by comparison: the object sits on one pan, standard masses are added to the other, and the reading is taken when the pointer comes to rest at the centre mark. It is also a clear way to show that equal masses balance regardless of their shape or material, a useful demonstration in early lessons on mass and measurement.
- Place the balance on a firm, level bench.
- With both pans empty, confirm that the pointer rests at the centre.
- Put the object on one pan and add standard masses to the other.
- Read the mass when the pointer settles at the centre mark.
