Compact Balance
Compact Balance (Product Code: SLE/ME/11) is a portable electronic balance used to weigh samples up to 220 g with 0.1 g readability in school laboratories, classrooms and outdoor practicals. A handy digital weighing balance for student groups, it has a 132 × 125 mm pan, an LCD display, gram and ounce modes, and runs on three AA batteries (included) or an optional AC adapter. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is a Compact Balance Used For?
Students use it to weigh out salts for solutions, measure seeds, leaves or soil for biology and geography work, and follow mass changes in chemistry, such as the loss in mass when marble chips react with acid. Battery power means the balance can move from bench to bench or out to a field site, where no mains socket is needed.
Place a weighing boat or paper on the pan and tare it; the tare works to full capacity by subtraction, so the container’s mass still counts towards the 220 g limit. Wait about 3 seconds for the display to settle, keep the balance away from fans and open windows, and recalibrate from the keypad after moving it to a new room. Its optimal operating range is 18 to 25 °C.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of balances, often one per student group.
- Whether you want the AC adapter, which is sold separately, or will run on the 3 AA batteries supplied.
- Whether reference masses for routine checks should be quoted with the balance.
- Consumables such as weighing boats or weighing paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity and readability of the Compact Balance?
The Compact Balance weighs up to 220 g and displays results to 0.1 g. That combination suits student practicals such as weighing salts for solutions, seeds, soil or small metal samples, where tenth-of-a-gram resolution is enough.
How is the Compact Balance powered?
The Compact Balance runs on 3 AA alkaline batteries, which are included, or on an AC adapter that is sold separately. Battery operation makes it easy to move between benches or take outdoors; mention the adapter in your enquiry if you want mains power.
How is the Compact Balance calibrated?
The Compact Balance is calibrated digitally from its keypad. Recalibrate after moving it or when the room temperature changes, using a suitable reference mass; ask us which calibration mass suits the model you are quoted.
Does the Compact Balance have a tare function?
Yes. The Compact Balance can tare to its full capacity by subtraction, so the mass of a weighing boat or paper is removed from the display. The container’s own mass still counts toward the 220 g total.
What units does the Compact Balance display?
The Compact Balance weighs in grams and ounces. Most school and college work uses grams, while the ounce mode helps when comparing results with older references or materials that quote imperial units.
What working conditions suit the Compact Balance?
The Compact Balance is designed to operate at 18 to 25 °C (65 to 77 °F), and a reading settles in about 3 seconds. Place it on a firm, level surface away from fans, open windows and direct sunlight for steady results.
Who supplies the Compact Balance, and is a calibration certificate available?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Compact Balance to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets. Calibration-certificate availability can be discussed with us when you request a quotation.
