About Specific Gravity Balance

The GLOBE Specific Gravity Balance provides a simple and quick mean to read directly the specific gravity of rubber and other elastomers, thus reducing labour and eliminating calculations. The time taken to find out the specific gravity of a sample is only about half a minute.The balance consists of an anodised scale with specific gravity (SG) printed on it standing vertically on a heavy base plate. A balancing arm is provided at the centre point of the scale. The arm is supported on two jewel bearings to minimise friction.

Two stainless steel pins are suspended from one end of the arm. One of the pins is attached through a short length of yarn and the other through a long length of yarn. The second pin is kept immersed in water inside a tall transparent jar kept on the base.

A pointer is attached at the other end of the balancing arm that indicates the specific gravity of sample under test. A sliding weight is also provided for initial balancing of the samples of different weights. A levelling screw is provided for initial levelling of the base plate.

A sample of any shape can be used for determination of specific gravity. Its weight shall, however, lie between 5 and 15 g. The sample used shall not be soluble in water or be affected by it in any way. If the sample has a cellular structure, the cells shall be of closed type so that the absorption of water is kept at minimum.

Other models of specific gravity balance capable of measuring specific gravity in the range of 0.2 to 2.0, 0.05 to 0.70, and 0.02 to 0.50 are also available. Special models for measurement of specific gravity of liquids and of materials in form of powder or granules are also being manufactured.

Precision Engineering for Reliable Results

Engineered with high-quality corrosion-resistant brass or stainless steel, the balancing beam delivers lasting performance even under challenging laboratory conditions. An integrated bubble level ensures mechanical accuracy, while the stainless steel pan offers robust support for various sample types, guaranteeing dependable readings every time.

Versatility Across Multiple Material Types

The Specific Gravity Balance accommodates metals, plastics, rubbers, and minerals, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory density measurements. Its generous sample accommodationup to 100 mm, solid or powderedallows for flexibility in research and quality control environments.

Convenient Calibration and Portability

Each unit arrives complete with calibration weights and a protective carry case for safe storage and ease of transport between laboratories. The table-top design and manual operation make setup straightforward, while the built-in bubble level streamlines leveling and balancing procedures for precise results.

FAQs of Specific Gravity Balance:

Q: How do I calibrate the Specific Gravity Balance before use?

A: The balance is supplied with calibration weights. Begin by placing the instrument on a stable, level surface and using the integrated bubble level to ensure proper alignment. Follow the included instructions to use the calibration weights, verifying the balance provides accurate readings before proceeding with sample measurements.

Q: What materials can be tested with this Specific Gravity Balance?

A: The balance is suitable for testing metals, plastics, rubbers, and minerals. It accommodates both solid and powdered samples with sizes up to 100 mm, making it versatile for a variety of laboratory applications.

Q: When should I use this balance instead of digital alternatives?

A: This manual, mechanical balance is ideal when precise, hands-on measurements are required, or when digital equipment may not be available or desired. It offers reliable precision (0.001 g accuracy) and a fast response time in its digital version, making it suitable for laboratories prioritizing manual control and durability.

Q: Where is the optimal placement for the balance during testing?

A: The balance should be placed on a stable, vibration-free table top in a controlled laboratory environment, ideally between 10C and 40C. Utilize the integrated bubble level to ensure the instrument is perfectly horizontal for the most accurate results.

Q: What is the procedure for measuring the specific gravity of a specimen?

A: Position your single specimen (up to 200 g and 100 mm in size) on the stainless steel pan. Balance the beam using the mechanical controls, and record the reading. If digital, the response time will be under three seconds. Always recalibrate as needed to ensure ongoing accuracy.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this Specific Gravity Balance?

A: The balance delivers laboratory-grade accuracy, robust construction, and flexibility in testing various material types. Its manual operation allows for precise control during measurements, while included features like a bubble level, calibration weights, and carry case provide enhanced convenience and reliability for regular laboratory testing.
