Triple-Beam Balance (Product Code: SLE/LB/16) is a mechanical beam balance used to measure mass up to 2610 g in school and college science classrooms, with no power supply needed. Built for daily student handling, it reads to 0.1 g on three notched, tiered beams and adds magnetic damping, a die-cast aluminium body and a grade 304 stainless steel pan. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its physics lab equipment range for schools.

A triple-beam balance shows students how a measurement is built up: they slide the largest poise to the last notch that keeps the pointer from dropping, repeat on the middle beam, then fine-tune on the front beam and add the three values. Classes use it for mass and density investigations, conservation-of-mass reactions in closed containers and weighing apparatus before and after heating.
For density by suspension, the tripod legs and optional weigh-below hook let a specimen be weighed while it hangs in water. Check that all poises sit at zero and the pointer rests on the centre mark before each weighing, use the 225 g tare for containers, and wipe the stainless steel pan dry after wet samples.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which does business as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Triple-Beam Balance to schools, colleges and distributors. Buyers can add it to a wider order of density specimens, measuring cylinders and other practical apparatus, so one quotation covers the complete weighing station.

What is the capacity and readability of the Triple-Beam Balance?
The Triple-Beam Balance weighs up to 2610 g with 0.1 g readability. Its repeatability and linearity are both listed as 0.2 g, which is ample for school density, mass-conservation and general measurement practicals.
How does the 225 g tare on the Triple-Beam Balance help?
The 225 g tare range on the Triple-Beam Balance lets you balance out a container of up to 225 g first, so the beams then read only the mass of the sample you add, without subtracting the container by hand.
Why does the Triple-Beam Balance have magnetic damping?
Magnetic damping slows the pointer's swing on the Triple-Beam Balance so it comes to rest sooner. That shortens each reading and keeps class practicals moving, especially when many students share one balance.
Is the weigh-below hook included with the Triple-Beam Balance?
The hook for below-balance weighing is listed as optional for the Triple-Beam Balance, so request it with your order if you plan density work by suspension. The tripod legs for density measurement are part of the listed features.
Who supplies the Triple-Beam Balance?
The Triple-Beam Balance is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Send the quantity, any optional hooks or locks and the delivery address for a quotation.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Triple-Beam Balance?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Triple-Beam Balance should be discussed when you order. Please contact us with your requirement, and we will tell you what documentation can accompany the balances for your school or college records.
