Fractional Weight With Rider (Product Code: SCL-517/08) is a set of small weights and a rider used to make the final, finest additions of mass when balancing a sample on a laboratory beam balance. Students and lab assistants reach for it once the larger weights from a weight box are on the pan, and the pieces are provided in a plastic case. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A weighing practical starts with the object on one pan and the larger weights added to the other until the pointer shows that only a small difference remains. That remaining difference is made up with the fractional weights, and on a balance with a graduated beam the rider is then lifted onto the beam and moved along it until the pointer settles at the centre. Students learn to think of every reading as whole weights plus a small, measured correction.
Small weights are easily affected by moisture and grease from fingers, so pick them up with forceps, arrest the beam before adding or removing any piece, and put each weight back in its own place in the plastic case. Keeping the case closed between uses protects the pieces from dust and stops them going missing, which matters when one set is shared by several batches using a chemical balance in an Indian school or college lab.
The Fractional Weight With Rider is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for this weighing accessory. The company is incorporated under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and makes it at its own licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).
