Beam Scale is a portable balance consisting of a pivoted bar with arms of unequal length.A beam scale is a type of scale commonly used in the laboratory to determine the mass of samples. To use the scale, you use sliding weights called riders on three beams, each with progressively small incremental amounts.
Familar versions of the concept are seen in sliding bar postal scales, and in the older scales used in doctors' offices .The larger increments may be 100 grams and 10 grams, and the final beam will display in grams and decimal fractions of a gram. Medical beam scales are strong and durable fitness scales built to last you a long time. Mechanical beam scales are used in hospitals, offices,gyms,schools,or even in homes.
