About This Product
A mud balance is a simple beam balance used to find the density or specific gravity of mud and similar liquids. The cup is filled and the lid is pressed on, so surplus liquid leaves through the overflow vent and the volume is the same each time. The counterweight is then slid along the graduated scale until the beam is level, and the specific gravity is read at the cursor. The levelling screws and spirit level on the stand are used to set the balance level before use.
