Chemical Balance (Product Code: SLE/LB/06) is a beam balance used to weigh reagents, primary standards and precipitates for quantitative chemistry practicals in senior schools and colleges. It offers 200 g capacity and 0.5 mg sensitivity, with a beam engraved with a rider scale for a 10 mg rider, agate bearings and knife edges, all in a polished wooden case. It is made by OEM manufacturer Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The chemical balance is the traditional instrument for weighing primary standards such as oxalic acid or sodium carbonate when students prepare standard solutions for titration, and for weighing crucibles and precipitates in simple gravimetric work. Standard masses from a weight box bring the beam close to balance, and the final milligrams are found by sliding the 10 mg rider along the engraved scale, so fractional weights are rarely needed.
Good practice keeps readings consistent: level the balance, set the empty beam with the balancing nuts, keep the case closed while reading to shut out draughts, and let the beam come to rest before adding or removing a load so the agate bearings and knife edges are not jolted. Weigh chemicals on weighing paper or in a watch glass, never directly on the pan. For schools setting up chemistry lab equipment in India for Class 11 and 12 practicals, this balance covers the standard weighing exercises.
ScienceLab is the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Chemical Balance. The balance is mounted on its wooden board and cased at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, not bought in from a trader. Purchase departments registering the vendor can use GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Read our company profile for more.
Accessories used with a chemical balance in titration and gravimetric practicals:
All weighing instruments are listed in our Balances category.
Is the 10 mg rider included with the Chemical Balance?
The Chemical Balance beam is engraved for use with a 10 mg rider, but whether a rider is packed with the balance is not stated. Confirm it on your quotation; riders are also available with our Fractional Weight With Rider.
Does the Chemical Balance come with a weight box?
A weight box is not listed as part of the Chemical Balance. Standard masses can be ordered separately, for example our Weight Box, to bring the beam close to balance before the rider is used.
How does the Chemical Balance differ from the Analytical Balance?
The Chemical Balance has 200 g capacity and 0.5 mg sensitivity for routine student weighing, while the Analytical Balance is the more sensitive choice, with a fully glazed case, for finer quantitative work in college laboratories.
Why does the Chemical Balance use agate bearings?
The Chemical Balance uses agate bearings because agate is a very hard, smooth stone, so the knife edges pivot on it with little friction and wear slowly, which helps the balance keep its sensitivity with regular use.
Who manufactures the Chemical Balance?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Chemical Balance (SLE/LB/06), made at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Colleges and dealers receive factory-direct quotations and can ask the manufacturer about repeat orders.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Chemical Balance?
A calibration certificate is not listed for the Chemical Balance. Calibration documentation should be discussed with our team before ordering, through the contact page, so that we can advise what is possible for this model.
Can colleges order several Chemical Balances at once?
Yes. Colleges can order several Chemical Balances at once; send the code SLE/LB/06, the quantity and the delivery location. ScienceLab supplies institutions in India and international markets.
