Compression Balance Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Compression Balance (Product Code: SLE/LB/04) is a direct-reading dial scale used for quick weighing of everyday objects and samples in school science, home science and maths classrooms. A wide view dial lets a whole group see the reading, the large pan takes bulky items, and the body is plastic moulded. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Key Details

What Is the Compression Balance Used For?

Pupils can estimate the mass of fruit, vegetables, books or bags of sand and then check their guesses on the dial, a simple way to build a feel for grams and kilograms. The wide view dial lets a teacher show the reading to a group rather than one child at a time, and the large pan accepts bulky items that would not fit on a laboratory beam balance. In upper classes, the compression balance is a good starting point for discussing the difference between weight, the force that compresses the spring, and mass, which a beam balance compares.

Place the load in the middle of the pan and let the pointer settle before reading straight on, not from an angle. Check that the pointer returns to zero after each use, avoid overloading, and wipe the plastic moulded body with a damp cloth. As general physics lab equipment for lower grades, it complements rather than replaces a precision balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Compression Balance work?
A Compression Balance works by letting the load on the pan compress a spring inside the body; that movement turns the pointer across the wide view dial, so the reading appears at once without sliding masses or standard weights.

What are the capacity and graduation of the Compression Balance?
Capacity and scale divisions are not stated in the current documentation for the Compression Balance. Please ask for them through our contact page before ordering, so you can check it covers the objects your classes will weigh.

How is the Compression Balance cleaned?
The Compression Balance has a plastic moulded body that can be wiped with a damp cloth after lessons involving sand, soil or food items; keep water away from the dial and let the pan dry before the next use.

Is the Compression Balance accurate enough for chemistry practicals?
The Compression Balance is meant for quick, general weighing rather than precise reagent work. For chemistry practicals, choose a chemical, single pan or analytical balance from our Balances range instead.

Can the Compression Balance reading be checked in class?
Yes. You can check a Compression Balance by placing known masses, such as a mass set, on the pan and comparing the dial reading; this is also a useful class exercise on the difference between weight and mass.
