Double Beam Balance (Product Code: SLE/LB/01) is a two-pan mechanical balance used for accurate, rapid weighing of samples in school and college science laboratories. Its two beams with centre-reading sliding masses read 0–200 g × 10 g and 0–10 g × 0.1 g (210 g in total), and supplementary masses extend the range to 2 kg — a dependable item of school chemistry lab equipment in India. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In a school practical, the balance is used to weigh salts for preparing solutions, to find the mass of objects before density calculations, and to compare the masses of samples. Students set the larger beam in 10 g steps, then fine-tune on the smaller beam to 0.1 g; the magnetic damping stops the pointer swinging for long, so a whole group can take readings in turn during a single period. For heavier items such as soil samples or apparatus parts, supplementary masses take the capacity up to 2 kg.
Before each session, check that the empty pans read zero and correct with the spring-loaded adjuster. Weigh powders on weighing paper or in a weighing boat rather than directly on the steel pans, and wipe the 150 mm pans dry after use. Pharmacy and food science labs also use a double beam balance of this kind for routine weighing where an electronic readout is not essential.
ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Double Beam Balance. The balance is made and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.

What is the finest reading on the Double Beam Balance?
The finest reading on the Double Beam Balance is 0.1 g, taken on its 0–10 g beam. The second beam covers 0–200 g in 10 g steps, giving 210 g on the beams before any supplementary masses are added.
Can the Double Beam Balance weigh more than 210 g?
Yes. Supplementary masses extend the Double Beam Balance to 2 kg. Whether those masses are packed with the balance is not stated in its listing, so confirm it on your quotation when you enquire.
What are the Double Beam Balance pans made of?
The Double Beam Balance has stainless steel pans of 150 mm diameter. They wipe clean easily between groups, but powders should still be weighed on weighing paper or in a weighing boat rather than directly on the pan.
How is the Double Beam Balance zeroed?
The Double Beam Balance is zeroed with its spring-loaded zero adjuster, set while both pans are empty. Magnetic damping then brings the pointer to rest quickly, so each reading can be taken without a long wait.
Who manufactures the Double Beam Balance?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Double Beam Balance as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers receive quotations directly from the maker, not through a trading intermediary.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Double Beam Balance?
A calibration certificate is not listed for the Double Beam Balance. If your laboratory needs calibration documentation, discuss it with our team through the contact page before ordering so we can advise what is possible for this model.
Can schools order the Double Beam Balance in class sets?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies the Double Beam Balance (SLE/LB/01) in class sets to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets; include the quantity and delivery location in your enquiry.
