NEW ADAM TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE JUST FOR SCHOOLS
Adam Equipment, a world-class manufacturer of mass measurement equipment, has released the TBB Triple Beam Balance. This 2610g-capacity mechanical balance offers an array of safety and convenience features, making it the most full-featured triple beam available to educators today.

“Teachers have been telling us their wish lists for triple beams for years,” said Alan Storey, Managing Director of Adam Equipment. “With Adam exclusives like a security bracket to keep the TBB safe, built-in tripod legs for quick and stable below-balance weighing, along with a wider overall body that’s sturdier for students to work with, we feel like we have indeed created the triple beam educators have been asking for.”

Adam’s new TBB Triple Beam offers an assortment of valuable classroom features not available with any other triple beam. First, in response to teachers’ overwhelming concerns about stolen triple beams, Adam built a security bracket into the TBB’s housing so that educators could easily keep their balances safe from theft. The bracket is compatible with any universal Kensington™ type lock and cable. (Cable and lock sold separately.)

Secondly, the TBB comes equipped with unique tripod legs to lift up the balance for optimal visibility during below balance activities such as density experiments. The legs are both more stable and more convenient to use than the rod and clamp kits that other manufacturers offer. Because the legs are integrated into the balance, the TBB removes the hassle of fi tting clamps onto a lab table and also erases concerns about damaging lab furniture. Adam’s TBB is the only triple beam that includes below-balance weighing as a standard feature rather than as an accessory at an additional cost.

Adam also added a protractor, ruler, and conversion chart right onto the balance’s housing, transforming the TBB into a complete measurement tool for schools. Finally, the TBB has a wider overall body than other triple beams, making it the sturdiest option for students. The company presently has a patent pending on the innovative design of its TBB Triple Beam.

The TBB boasts a generous 2610 gram capacity, which is 2000 grams more than most other triple beams available to teachers. The readability is 0.1g, the standard readability for this class of balance. The TBB is durable and easy to keep clean with metal housing and a stainless steel pan. A built-in mass holder provides handy storage for the additional weights when they are not in use. Quality center-point readings are ensured with magnetic dampening, positive poise positioning, well-defined notches, and three graduated-tier beams. A counterbalance knob provides speedy zeroing.

The balance is backed by a five-year Adam Assurance Warranty with responsive and reliable service before, during, and after the sale.
