Balance Spring Tubular Plastic (Product Code: SLE/PHY/19) is a tubular spring balance used to measure forces, such as the pull of gravity on a mass, in school physics and science labs. It is 250 mm long overall including its ring and hook, the spring mechanism is clearly visible through the plastic tube, and it carries a zero adjustment plus colour-coded ranges scaled in both grams and newtons. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A spring balance is often the first force-measuring instrument students handle. Hang the balance by its ring, set the pointer to zero with the zero adjustment, then attach the load to the hook and read the scale. Because the scale is marked in both grams and newtons, one reading lets the class connect mass and weight and see how a load in grams corresponds to a force in newtons. The visible spring shows how the extension grows with the load, a direct link to Hooke's law.
Beyond weighing, students use it to measure friction by dragging a block across the bench, the pull needed to raise a load with pulleys, or the effort on a lever. The colour coding makes it easy to hand the right range to each group and to collect them again after class. Hold it vertically when weighing, re-zero before each set of readings and never load it past the end of its scale. It is everyday physics lab equipment in India's schools and junior colleges.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM for the Balance Spring Tubular Plastic. The balance is produced at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied directly by the maker to schools, colleges, dealers and importers, which keeps repeat orders for the same range and colour code simple. For replacements or additional ranges, just ask us. The ScienceLab profile explains more about the company.

What is the Balance Spring Tubular Plastic used to measure?
The Balance Spring Tubular Plastic measures force, such as the force of gravity exerted on a mass, and it can be calibrated for measuring mass. Its scales are marked in both grams and newtons, so students can relate mass and weight from a single reading.
How long is the tubular plastic spring balance?
The Balance Spring Tubular Plastic is 250 mm long overall, including its ring and hook. The compact tubular plastic body keeps the spring mechanism clearly visible, which helps students see the spring stretch as the load increases.
How is the tubular spring balance set to zero?
The Balance Spring Tubular Plastic has a built-in zero adjustment. Hang it vertically by its ring with nothing on the hook, adjust the pointer to zero, and then attach the load. Re-check the zero before each new set of readings for consistent results.
Why are the spring balance ranges colour-coded?
Each range of the Balance Spring Tubular Plastic is colour-coded so teachers and students can pick the correct range quickly and avoid overloading a lighter one. Tell ScienceLab which ranges and how many of each you need when you request a quote.
Who manufactures the Balance Spring Tubular Plastic?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Balance Spring Tubular Plastic as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers in India and international markets buy it directly from the manufacturer.
Can a calibration certificate be provided for the spring balance?
Whether a calibration document can be provided with the Balance Spring Tubular Plastic should be discussed with ScienceLab before ordering. Include this request, the ranges needed and your delivery location when you contact us through the contact page.
