How the mass set is used
A physical balance compares an unknown load with known masses: the specimen goes on the left pan and weights are added to the right pan until the pointer swings equally either side of the centre of the scale. This set supplies those known masses, with brass pieces for the bulk of the load and light metal fractional weights for the final small additions.
Chrome plating on the brass pieces resists tarnish and finger marks, which matters because corrosion and grease slowly change the mass of a weight. Students are taught to lift every piece with the forceps rather than the fingers, and to return each weight to its place in the case after use so the set stays complete and clean.
- Level the physical balance and check that the pointer swings evenly about zero with empty pans.
- Place the specimen on the left pan with the beam arrested.
- Using the forceps, add the largest suitable weight to the right pan, then release the beam and watch the pointer.
- Work down through the smaller brass weights and then the light metal fractional weights until the swings are equal on both sides.
- Add up the weights on the pan, record the mass and return each piece to the case.
