Brass Slotted Masses
Model Number: MTM-09
The Brass Slotted Masses from Micro Technologies are individual laboratory masses designed for mechanics, force, pulley, loading and mass-related experiments. Manufactured from brass with a plated finish, these masses feature a convenient slotted configuration and are available separately in 5 g, 10 g, 20 g and 50 g denominations.
Product Specification
The Brass Slotted Masses from Micro Technologies are designed for laboratory experiments requiring known masses that can be conveniently added, removed or combined within a compatible loading arrangement. Their slotted construction makes them particularly useful in mechanics and physics laboratory setups where incremental changes in load are required.
Each mass is manufactured from brass with a plated finish, providing a compact and practical laboratory weight suitable for repeated experimental handling.
Unlike conventional solid masses with a completely enclosed central opening, the slotted configuration incorporates an opening extending from the outer edge toward the center. This allows individual masses to be positioned onto compatible mass hangers or supporting arrangements without dismantling the complete setup.
The masses are supplied separately, allowing laboratories to purchase the specific denominations and quantities required for their experimental equipment.
Four nominal mass values are available: 5 g, 10 g, 20 g and 50 g. These different denominations enable small and controlled changes in experimental loading.
Individual masses can be combined to create different total loads. This flexibility is useful when investigating how changes in mass influence force, acceleration, tension, equilibrium or other mechanical parameters.
The Brass Slotted Masses are particularly suitable for use with compatible mass hangers. Additional slotted masses can be added progressively to increase the total suspended load during an experiment.
They can also be incorporated into pulley experiments, where different loads are required on one or more sides of a pulley arrangement. By changing the combination of masses, different force and equilibrium conditions can be investigated.
In force-related experiments, a known mass provides a predictable gravitational load. The corresponding weight force can be related to mass using the expression W = mg, where W represents weight force, m represents mass and g represents gravitational acceleration.
The masses are also useful for experiments involving Newton's laws of motion, where controlled changes in load can be used to investigate relationships between force, mass and acceleration in suitable apparatus.
For equilibrium and moments experiments, different mass combinations can provide controlled loads at specified positions within a mechanical arrangement.
The separate-weight format also allows damaged or missing denominations in an existing laboratory collection to be supplemented without purchasing an entirely new mass set.
Their compact configuration simplifies storage, handling and integration with compatible laboratory apparatus. When not in use, the masses should be stored in a clean and dry location to help maintain their condition.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Brass Slotted Masses are suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific experimental facilities requiring individual slotted masses for controlled loading applications.
