The Scale, Infant, Clinic, Beam Type, 16kg x 10g (Product Code: SLE/AE/09) is a tabletop beam balance with a curved tray on which a baby lies while being weighed, for paediatric outpatient departments, maternity units and well-baby clinics that want a mechanical scale needing no batteries or mains supply. It covers 0–16 kg, and its all-metal body, levelling feet and bubble level are made for daily clinical use. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a scientific instrument maker in Ambala.

Place the scale on a firm table and turn the adjustable feet until the bubble sits in the centre of the level; only then set the beam to zero with the empty tray in place. Lay a thin cloth in the tray if required and re-zero, then position the undressed baby centrally and slide the poises along the beam until it balances. A beam scale takes a little longer than a spring or electronic scale — about 30 seconds per reading — but many clinics value its mechanical simplicity and independence from power.
After each baby, lift out the curved tray and wipe it with disinfectant; the powder-coated finish and smooth body make this quick between patients. Paediatric nursing schools buying lab equipment for college skills labs in India also use this type of scale to teach levelling, zeroing and beam reading.

What is the weighing range?
0 to 16 kg, read in kilograms on a white-on-black scale.
What is the smallest division on the beam?
The product title lists 16 kg x 10 g. Please confirm the exact graduation for your order with our team via the contact page; we will state it in the quotation.
Does it need electricity?
No. It is fully mechanical, which makes it suitable for clinics with unreliable power.
How do I make sure it reads correctly on an uneven table?
Adjust the feet until the built-in round bubble is centred, then set the zero before weighing.
Can the tray be removed for cleaning?
Yes, the curved tray lifts off and has a powder-coated, light grey finish that can be wiped and disinfected.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Please raise this at enquiry stage; availability of a calibration certificate is confirmed case by case.
Do you supply hospitals and distributors in bulk?
Yes, in India and international markets. Share quantities and destination, and we will confirm warranty and delivery terms in our quotation.
