Loose Weight
Loose Weight (Product Code: SCL252/025) is a single ½ kg steel mass used to apply a known load in school and college physics experiments. Teachers and students reach for it whenever an extra fixed load is needed on a wire, spring, string or lever, and its silver-coloured steel is chemical resistant. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as everyday physics lab equipment for schools.

What Is a Loose Weight Used For?
A loose weight is a stand-alone mass rather than one piece of a slotted set, so it is handy whenever a practical calls for one fixed load. At ½ kg it exerts roughly 4.9 N under normal gravity, a convenient step for loading a spring in a Hooke's law practical, holding a string taut over a bench pulley, adding weight to a wire in an elasticity experiment, or checking the reading of a spring balance.
Because the steel is chemical resistant, the weight can be wiped clean if it is used near liquids on a shared bench. Lower it into place gently rather than dropping it, keep it on a shelf away from glassware, and use a weight box when a practical needs a series of small, precise masses instead of one fixed load.
OEM Manufacturer
Loose weights like this are part of the metal lab ware that Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces under its ScienceLab trading name. As OEM (original equipment manufacturer), the company makes the Loose Weight at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatches it factory-direct to schools, colleges, laboratory dealers and importers. Repeat orders for matching weights are handled by the manufacturer itself, so just ask us when you need more. The ScienceLab profile page has more about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy is the Loose Weight?
The Loose Weight has a capacity of ½ kg (500 g), which corresponds to a force of roughly 4.9 N under normal gravity. It is a single steel mass rather than part of a slotted set, so it adds one fixed load.
What is the Loose Weight made of?
The Loose Weight is made of silver-coloured steel that is chemical resistant. That makes it easy to wipe clean after use on a shared lab bench, including in practicals where liquids are nearby.
Will the Loose Weight fit my hanger or hook?
Whether the Loose Weight suits a particular hanger or hook depends on your set-up. Tell us the apparatus you plan to load through the contact page, and we will confirm suitability or suggest a slotted-weight hanger instead.
Can the Loose Weight be used as a calibration mass?
The Loose Weight is intended as a practical load for physics experiments. Calibration-certificate availability for it should be discussed with us before ordering; for precise mass comparison a weight box is usually the better choice.
Who manufactures the Loose Weight?
The Loose Weight (code SCL252/025) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is sold factory-direct.
How do I get a quotation for Loose Weights in bulk?
For a bulk Loose Weight quotation, state code SCL252/025, the number of weights and your delivery location. The manufacturer quotes schools, colleges, dealers and buyers in India and international markets directly.
