Balance
Balance (Product Code: SCL-541/01a) is an equal-arm beam balance with two plastic trays that lets students find the mass of small objects by comparing them against known masses. Science teachers use it to introduce mass, equilibrium and weighing by comparison in middle and secondary classes. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of school physics lab equipment in India.
Specifications
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Equal-arm balance with balancing mechanism |
| Pans | Plastic trays |
| Support | Steel support |
| Maximum measurement mass | 200 g |
| Precision | 0.1 g |
| Height | 200 mm |
| Included | Marked mass set |
Typical Use
Students place the object on one tray and add marked masses to the other until the beam settles level; the total of the masses gives the object's mass, readable to the balance's 0.1 g precision. Before each lesson, set the empty beam level with the balancing mechanism so that every reading starts from a true zero, and keep the combined load within the 200 g maximum to protect the pivot.
The balance works well in practical sessions on density (weigh a sample, then find its volume), on conservation of mass, and on the difference between mass and weight. Used next to a spring dynamometer and other mechanics lab equipment in India, it helps learners see that a balance compares masses directly, while a spring scale measures the pull of gravity as a force.
Manufacturer
This balance is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company that trades under the ScienceLab name and builds teaching apparatus for schools, colleges and science distributors. Read more about the company on its company profile page.
Related Lab Equipment
These catalogue items are often ordered with the balance for weighing and equilibrium lessons:
- Set Of Marked Masses — extra hooked masses for the comparison tray or for hanging experiments.
- Weight Box — a boxed set of reference weights for comparison weighing.
- Dynamometer — measures weight as a force in newtons, a useful contrast to weighing by comparison.
- Lever — extends the equal-arm idea to moments at unequal distances from the pivot.
- Triple Beam Balance — an alternative single-pan balance with sliding riders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity and precision of this balance?
It measures up to 200 g with a precision of 0.1 g. For heavier samples, choose a balance with a higher capacity from our catalogue.
Are masses supplied with the balance?
Yes, a marked mass set is included. For the exact pieces in the set, please ask through our contact page before ordering.
How do I set the balance to zero?
With both trays empty, adjust the balancing mechanism until the beam rests level. Recheck this at the start of each class, since moving the balance can shift the zero.
How should the balance be cleaned and stored?
Wipe the plastic trays with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them. Store the balance unloaded, with the masses kept together so pieces are not lost.
Can a calibration certificate be provided?
Please discuss calibration-certificate availability with our team via the contact page when you enquire.
What should an institutional quotation request include?
Give the product code SCL-541/01a, the quantity, the delivery address and any tender specification you must match, so we can respond accurately.
Do you supply schools in bulk and overseas?
Yes. We supply institutions and distributors across India and international markets; packing and shipping terms are confirmed with each quotation.
