Typically, the reading scale of the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam in 10 gram increments, and the front beam can read from 0 to 10 grams. [2] The triple beam balance can be used to measure mass directly from the objects, find mass by difference for liquid , and measure out substances.
Digital Weight Indicator also commonly called Weight Indicator [1] is a system of indication or recording of the selector type or one that advances intermittently in which all values are presented digitally, or in numbers. In a digital indicating or recording element, or in digital representation, there are no graduations.
The first large-scale smelting of nickel began in Norway in 1848 from nickel-rich pyrrhotite. The introduction of nickel in steel production in 1889 increased the demand for nickel; the nickel deposits of New Caledonia , discovered in 1865, provided most of the world's supply between 1875 and 1915.
Before using a triple beam balance, the scale pointer should be at zero. [6] The zero adjustment knob can be used to adjust the scale pointer. Place the objects on the pan and adjust the riders until the scale pointer is at zero again, and then sum the weights marked (e.g. the 4th notch of 100 gram beam is 400g) to find the weight of the sample.

Other compositions of permalloy are available, designated by a numerical prefix denoting the weight percentage of nickel in the alloy, for example "45 permalloy" means an alloy containing 45% nickel, and 55% iron by weight. "Molybdenum permalloy" is an alloy of 81% nickel, 17% iron and 2% molybdenum. The latter was invented at Bell Labs in 1940.
