Spring Balance – Aluminium Tubular, 10 N / 1 kg

This aluminium tubular spring balance, also known as a Newton meter or force meter, measures forces up to 10 N (approximately 1 kg mass equivalent). It is suitable for school science experiments investigating forces, weight and Hooke's law.

Key Features

• Aluminium tubular body with hanging ring and load hook
• Force measuring range: 0–10 N
• Approximate mass-equivalent range: 0–1 kg
• Stated scale increment: 0.2 N
• Suitable for classroom force investigations

Choosing the Right Spring Balance

Select a spring balance with a measuring range slightly above the maximum force you expect to measure. Lower-capacity models generally have finer scale divisions for smaller forces.

This model measures up to 10 N (approximately 1 kg). For a different measuring range, consider the 5 N aluminium spring balance or 20 N aluminium spring balance.

Check and adjust the zero setting before use where provided, and avoid exceeding the rated capacity. Newtons measure force; gram or kilogram scales indicate approximate mass equivalents under Earth's gravity.
