2. Decimal balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_balance

   Old decimal balance scale A drawing to illustrate a design with two-point support of the platform. A decimal balance or decimal scale is a balance scale which uses the lever in which the arm for weights is 10 times longer than the arm for weighted objects, so that much lighter weights may be used to weigh heavy object.

4. Tare weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tare_weight

   With a laboratory scale, the tare weight is the mass of the flask and the net weight is the mass of the contents. Tare weight can be useful in computing the cost of the goods carried for purposes of taxation or for tolls related to barge, rail, road, or other traffic, especially where the toll will vary with the value of the goods carried (e.g., tolls on the Erie Canal).

5. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

   Pointers - The scale pointer marks the equal point of the object's mass on the scale and mass on the beam; Zero adjustment knob - This is used to manually adjust the triple beam balance to the 'zero' mark (check to ensure that the pointer is at zero before use). Before using triple beam balance, the scale pointer should be at zero.

6. Check weigher - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_weigher

   A weigh belt. This is typically mounted on a weight transducer which can typically be a strain-gauge load cell or a servo-balance (also known as a force-balance), or sometimes known as a split-beam. Some older machines may pause the weigh bed belt before taking the weight measurement. This may limit line speed and throughput.

7. Analytical balance - Wikipedia

   The reading scale can be enumerated such that the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam can read from 0 to 10 grams, and the front beam can read in 10 gram increments. [4] The parts of a triple beam balance are identified as following: [5] Weighing pan - The area in which an object is placed in order to be weighed.
