Soft Drawing Boards Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Soft Drawing Boards (Product Code: SCI-1285/027) are wooden pin boards used to hold paper and optical pins during ray-tracing experiments in school and college optics practicals. The brown, rectangular boards have a soft working surface, so pins push in easily and stay upright while students sight rays through glass blocks, prisms and mirrors. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as basic optics lab equipment.

Key Details

What Are Soft Drawing Boards Used For?

Most practical optics in secondary and senior classes relies on the pin method. A sheet of white paper is fixed to the board, a glass slab, prism or plane mirror is placed on it and outlined, and optical pins are pushed in to mark the incident and emergent rays. Because the board is soft, pins go in by hand and stand firmly, which makes it possible to trace refraction through a rectangular slab, deviation by a prism or the position of an image in a mirror.

For accurate results, keep the pins vertical, sight along their bases rather than their heads, and use drawing pins at the corners so the paper does not shift between readings. Give each student pair its own board so everyone can record a full set of observations for the practical file.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer of these wooden soft drawing boards. Production is at the company's own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, so schools, colleges and distributors buying a full class set receive it factory-direct. Repeat orders for additional boards are handled by the manufacturer; just ask us. Company background.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Pin-method optics practicals on Soft Drawing Boards usually need:

• Board Pin Packet — pins for fixing paper and marking rays on the board.
• Prism – Glass Rectangular Block — the glass slab used to trace refraction.
• Prism — for angle-of-deviation experiments on the board.
• Plane Mirror — for locating images by the no-parallax method.
• Drawing Board — an alternative board listing in our physics range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Soft Drawing Boards made of?
Soft Drawing Boards are wooden, brown in colour and rectangular in shape. The soft surface is what makes them suitable for optics work, because optical pins and drawing pins can be pushed in by hand and stay firmly upright.

Which experiments use Soft Drawing Boards?
Soft Drawing Boards are used for pin-method optical experiments, such as tracing rays through a rectangular glass slab, measuring deviation through a prism and locating the image formed by a plane mirror. Students fix paper on the board and mark rays with pins.

What size are the Soft Drawing Boards?
The dimensions of the Soft Drawing Boards are not stated in this listing, which confirms a wooden, brown, rectangular board. Please ask through our contact page and we will confirm the board size with your quotation before you order.

Are pins supplied with Soft Drawing Boards?
Pins are not listed as part of the Soft Drawing Boards. A Board Pin Packet is available separately from our range and can be added to the same quotation, so each board is ready for ray-tracing practicals on arrival.

Who manufactures the Soft Drawing Boards?
Soft Drawing Boards are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and dealers in India and international markets buy them directly from the manufacturer.
