Scale, Infant, Spring Type, 5kg x 25g
The Scale, Infant, Spring Type, 5kg x 25g (Product Code: SLE/AE/02) is a tubular mechanical hanging scale, the style often called a ‘Super Samson’, for weighing newborns and young infants up to 5 kg in 25 g steps. It is carried by hand to home visits, immunisation sessions and village weighing posts where there is no table or electricity, and it is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a scientific instruments manufacturer in India that also serves nutrition and child-health programmes.

Typical Use
The upper hook is hung from a door frame, beam or tripod and a sling or weighing trouser goes on the lower hook. With the empty carrier attached, the health worker resets the scale to zero, places the baby in it and reads the weight once the pointer steadies — typically within three seconds. The 25 g graduation is fine enough to track small month-to-month changes in newborns, which is why this range is favoured for birth-weight and early growth checks rather than for older toddlers.
Before each session, hang the scale with nothing attached and confirm it returns to zero; a known test weight gives a quick field check between formal lab equipment calibration visits. Wipe the body with a disinfectant cloth after use and store it dry to protect the spring mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity and smallest reading?
It weighs from 0 to 5 kg with a minimum graduation of 25 g and a precision of ±25 g.
Does it need batteries or power?
No. It is a purely mechanical spring scale, so it works anywhere it can be hung up.
Is a sling or weighing trouser supplied with the scale?
This listing covers the scale. The lower hook accepts our sling or weighing trousers, which can be quoted together.
Can the zero point be adjusted?
Yes. It has an easy zero adjustment (reset-to-zero/tare), so the carrier’s weight can be cancelled before the baby is placed in it.
How should it be cleaned?
Wipe the smooth body with a mild disinfectant; it is splash proof, but it should not be immersed in water.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Please discuss calibration certificate availability with us at enquiry stage via our contact page.
Can you supply large quantities for programmes or export?
Yes, we supply institutions and distributors in India and international markets. Share quantity, destination and any tender specification so we can confirm warranty, packing and delivery terms.
