Plastic Weighing Boats
Plastic Weighing Boats (Product Code: SLE/ME/04) is a polystyrene sample holder used to weigh and transfer powdered and granular samples on laboratory balances in schools, colleges and testing labs. They suit all types of balances, and their smooth surface, rounded corners and corner recesses let samples pour off cleanly with little left behind. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its chemistry lab consumables.

What Are Plastic Weighing Boats Used For?
A weighing boat sits on the balance pan and holds the sample, so powders and granules never touch the pan and can be carried straight to a beaker or flask. Tare the empty boat, add the sample until the balance shows the target mass, then tip it out using a corner recess to guide the flow. The smooth polystyrene and rounded corners leave very little material clinging behind, which matters when preparing solutions of known concentration.
Because the boats suit electronic, beam and pocket balances alike, one stock serves every weighing station in a laboratory. Polystyrene can be softened by some organic solvents, so check compatibility before weighing solvent-wet samples, and keep boats away from hot plates and open flames.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Plastic Weighing Boats made of?
Plastic Weighing Boats (SLE/ME/04) are made of polystyrene. The smooth polystyrene surface and rounded corners help powders and granules slide out completely, so less sample is left behind when it is transferred to a beaker or flask.
Which balances can Plastic Weighing Boats be used on?
Plastic Weighing Boats are suitable for all types of balances, including electronic balances, pocket scales and mechanical beam balances. Place the empty boat on the pan, tare it or note its mass, and then add the sample.
What sizes and pack quantities of Plastic Weighing Boats are available?
The product description of Plastic Weighing Boats does not list sizes, capacities or the number of boats per pack. Tell us your balance type and typical sample amount through the contact page, and we will confirm the available options in our quotation.
Can Plastic Weighing Boats be used with all chemicals?
Plastic Weighing Boats are made of polystyrene, which some organic solvents can soften or dissolve. They suit dry powders and granules; for solvent-wet or reactive samples, check chemical compatibility first or ask us about an alternative through the contact page.
Are Plastic Weighing Boats reusable?
Plastic Weighing Boats are usually treated as single-use items to avoid cross-contamination between samples. A boat used for the same dry material may be wiped and reused where your laboratory’s procedures allow, but discard any boat that is cracked or visibly contaminated.
Who supplies Plastic Weighing Boats?
Plastic Weighing Boats are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company serves schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets through the contact page and enquiry cart.
What should a Plastic Weighing Boats quotation request include?
For a Plastic Weighing Boats quotation, give the quantity required, the balance types in use, typical sample sizes and the delivery location in India or abroad. Adding balances or weighing paper to the same enquiry lets us quote everything together.
