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.

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.
The balance is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, operating as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, India. Details of the company are in our company profile.
