Balances
| Balances |
| The most commonly encountered balance is a general purpose top-pan balance (1) which will be able to weigh to the nearest 0.01g. For more accurate work an analytical balance (2) must be used. This balance has many similarities with the simple top-ban balance but it can weigh to the nearest 0.0001g. The doors of the balance must be closed before taking a reading to prevent any disturbances in the air effecting the measurement. |
