Set Of Marked Masses (Product Code: SCL-059/01f) is a boxed set of four 50 g nickel-plated steel masses, each shaped as a cylinder with a central hole and fitted with two wire hooks. The hooks let students hang the masses quickly from springs, levers, pulleys and force meters, making the set a practical piece of laboratory equipment school India teachers reach for in almost every mechanics lesson. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Equal 50 g steps make it simple to load a spring or dynamometer progressively and draw a force–extension graph, or to add a known mass to a balance tray when checking a reading. With a moment bar apparatus school students can hang one mass at a measured distance on one side of the pivot and find where two masses must sit on the other side to restore balance, a direct test of the principle of moments.
Over a pulley, the masses provide a steady pulling force for simple machine and friction studies. Encourage students to handle them by the hooks rather than dropping them into place, and to return every piece to the storage box at the end of the lesson so the set stays complete and the plating stays clean.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose Ambala, Haryana operation manufactures this mass set among many other teaching aids for physics laboratories. More about the company is available on its company profile page.
Marked masses are the load in many set-ups; these items are the apparatus they are most often used with:

How many masses are included, and what does each weigh?
The set has 4 pieces of 50 g each, supplied in a storage box.
Why does each mass have two wire hooks?
The hooks make the masses easy to hang from springs, levers and force meters, and to lift without touching the plated surface.
Can I use these masses on a pan balance?
Yes, they can be placed on a balance tray as known masses. For fine weighing, a dedicated weight box is more suitable.
How should the masses be cleaned?
Wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can wear the nickel plating, and keep them in the box between lessons.
Can you confirm the accuracy of each mass with a certificate?
Please discuss calibration-certificate availability with us through the contact page before you order.
Are larger quantities available for a school or distributor?
Yes. Send the product code SCL-059/01f with the number of sets; we supply buyers across India and international markets.
