A triple beam balance is a type of scale commonly used in the laboratory to determine the mass (by weight comparison) of samples. To use the balance, you use sliding weights called riders on three beams, each with progressively small incremental amounts.
Familiar versions of the concept are seen in sliding bar postal scales, and in the older scales used in doctors' offices (which similarly have multiple beams).
The larger increments may be 100 grams and 10 grams, and the final beam will display in grams and decimal fractions of a gram.

What does triple beam balance mean in science?
These are weighing instruments that have 3 (triple) scales instead of only 1 which makes them very sensitive and rather accurate. Look up 'Triple Beam Balance' or 'Beam Balance' triple.
What limits the precision of a triple balance beam?
The smallest scale division of a triple beam balance is .1 grams. This means that its measuring error is .01 grams.
What a triple beam balance measures in units?
The normal triple beam balance reads in grams. The larger increments are 100 and 10 grams, and the final beam may measure continuously in grams and decimal fractions .
