The direct reading balances employ the principle of the constant load balance. At the one end of the beam, pan and ring weights are there for weighing the objects and in the other end there is a balance weight (load). When a sample is placed it breaks the balance - equilibrium. Therefore the corresponding amount of weights must be removed to restore the original balance equilibrium and the remaining weights can be observed on the projection scales by the microscale. The operating knob is located in front on the base of the balance and this aims at not only reducing vibration and increasing the efficiency of the balance but also enables the users to work on the balance for longer hours with more comfort.
