Weighing Paper (Product Code: SLE/ME/12) is a glazed paper sheet used to hold powders and small solids on a balance pan so they can be weighed cleanly in school, college and testing laboratories. Each sheet measures 3 × 3 in, and its smooth glazed surface protects the scale and helps prevent contamination from one sample to the next. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its chemistry consumables.

Whenever a practical calls for a measured amount of a solid, such as copper sulphate for a crystal-growing lesson or sodium chloride for a standard solution, a sheet of weighing paper sits between the chemical and the pan. The glazed finish means powder does not soak in or cling, so almost all of it slides off into the flask, and the pan stays free of corrosive residues.
Fold the sheet once from corner to corner and open it slightly to make a shallow channel. Set it on the pan, tare the balance, add the solid with a clean spatula, then tip it along the crease into the receiving vessel. Use a fresh sheet for each chemical; for liquids, damp materials or larger quantities, a plastic weighing boat is the sturdier choice.

What size is the Weighing Paper?
Each sheet of Weighing Paper measures 3 × 3 in. The compact square is sized for the small quantities of powder typically weighed out for student practicals and solution preparation, and it folds easily into a pouring channel.
Why use Weighing Paper instead of weighing directly on the pan?
Weighing Paper keeps chemicals off the balance pan, which protects the scale from residues and scratches and stops traces of one sample contaminating the next. Its glazed surface also lets the powder slide off completely into the receiving vessel.
How do you use Weighing Paper correctly?
Fold the Weighing Paper once corner to corner and open it slightly so it forms a shallow channel. Place it on the pan, tare the balance, add the sample with a spatula, then pour it along the crease into your flask or beaker.
Can Weighing Paper be reused?
Weighing Paper is meant to be used once for each sample and then discarded, because reusing a sheet can carry residue from one substance to another. For repeated weighing of the same material, a plastic weighing boat is a sturdier alternative.
