Spring Scales

What are the uses of Spring Scales?

Spring scales can be used in physics and education as basic accelerometers, but its main uses are industrial, especially related to weighing heavy loads such as trucks at weighing stations, storage silos, and materials being carried on a conveyor belt. Spring scales are used when the accuracy afforded by other types of scales can be sacrificed for simplicity, cheapness, and robustness. A spring balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring and is measured in either grams or newtons.

This set of spring scales includes 6 high quality, dual unit tubular scales that can measure six different ranges of force (in Newtons) or weight (in grams). This multi-range set of scales allows you to get higher precision results in both units.

Newton units are used when you want to measure a force. Grams are used when you are measuring a weight.
