SPRING BALANCES AND TUBULAR BALANCES
Spring Balance Description
Spring balances, also known as pocket balances or tubular balances, are very versatile. Their compact size and light weight make them very portable, and they can virtually be set up to weigh in any location.
Being mechanical, they have no power requirements, and are easy to clean. For a trade approved alternative, see Hanging Scales. QWM offers three models of spring balances.
