Balance Double Beam
Balance Double Beam (Product Code: SLE/CH/24) is a single-pan mechanical balance on a wooden base with a capacity of 311 g and a sensitivity of ±2 mg. Captive weights slide along the beam scales and the result is read from an index scale and pointer, so there are no loose weights to lose or mix up. It is intended for speed when weighing routine samples, which makes it a dependable chemical balance for Indian school, college and training labs. The balance is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use
A beam balance of this kind is used wherever many samples of similar mass have to be weighed one after another: measuring out salts for solution preparation, weighing crucibles before and after heating in water-of-crystallisation experiments, or checking reagent portions in school practicals. Pharmacy and teaching labs that train students in the principle of the double beam balance also value it, because every step of the weighing is visible on the beams rather than hidden inside electronics.
Set the balance on a level, vibration-free bench away from draughts, zero it with the pan empty, and then slide the captive weights until the pointer returns to the index. Never place hot objects or loose chemicals directly on the 110 mm pan; use a watch glass or weighing boat, and clean the pan after each session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum load of this balance?
311 g, with a sensitivity of ±2 mg.
Does it need a separate set of weights?
No separate weight box is listed as required — the balance uses captive weights that slide on the beam scales and stay attached to the instrument.
How large is the weighing pan?
The pan is 110 mm in diameter, with 170 mm from hook to pan.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Please discuss calibration documentation with us before ordering through the contact page; we will tell you what can be provided for your order.
How should the balance be looked after?
Keep it covered when not in use, clean the pan and beams with a soft dry cloth, and avoid moving it while loaded. Recheck zero whenever it is relocated.
What warranty is given?
Warranty terms are part of our quotation for each order; ask us for current terms.
What information does an institutional quotation need?
The number of balances, whether you need calibration documentation, and the delivery address in India or your export destination.
