Spring Balance, Tubular (Product Code: SCL228/014) is a plastic-bodied tubular spring balance used to measure weight and pulling force in school physics and general science lessons. It reads loads up to 1 kg, hangs from a suspension ring and carries the object on a load hook, which makes it quick to use for weighing in air and in water or for pulling a block across a bench. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In Archimedes' principle practicals, a solid is hung from the hook and weighed in air, then lowered into a beaker of water; the drop in reading is the upthrust. In friction work the balance is hooked to a block and pulled level along the bench, and the reading as the block starts to move gives the limiting friction.
Because the spring stretches in proportion to the load, the balance also helps introduce Hooke's law before students build their own spring set-up. Hold it vertical when weighing, check that the pointer rests at zero before each reading, stay within the 1 kg capacity and never let a loaded spring snap back. It is simple mechanics lab equipment that every bench group can keep at hand.
The Spring Balance, Tubular is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited under its ScienceLab brand, and the company is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). The balances are made at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Class sets and repeat orders are quoted by the manufacturer itself, so larger quantities for new sections can be planned in one enquiry — just ask us. See the ScienceLab profile for company details.

What is the capacity of the Spring Balance, Tubular?
The Spring Balance, Tubular reads loads up to 1 kg. Keep every load within that capacity, because overloading can stretch the spring permanently and spoil later readings.
What is the Spring Balance, Tubular made of?
The Spring Balance, Tubular has a plastic body with a suspension ring at the top and a load hook at the bottom. The ring lets it hang from a stand or be held by hand, while the hook takes the object being weighed.
How is the Spring Balance, Tubular used to measure friction?
To measure friction with the Spring Balance, Tubular, hook it to a block and pull horizontally at a slow, steady rate. The reading just as the block starts to move gives limiting friction; the reading while it slides gives sliding friction.
Who manufactures the Spring Balance, Tubular?
The Spring Balance, Tubular is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers get quotations directly from the manufacturer.
Can the Spring Balance, Tubular be ordered in class sets?
Yes. The Spring Balance, Tubular can be ordered in class-set quantities for schools, colleges and dealers across India and international markets. Share the number of balances and your delivery location through https://scilabexport.com/contact for a quotation.
