Triple Beam Balance (Product Code: SLE/ME/01) is a mechanical beam balance used to measure mass up to 610 g, with a readability of 0.1 g, in school and college science laboratories. Teachers and students use it for everyday practical weighing without mains power, and it combines magnetic damping, notched beams and a 6 inch (15.2 cm) stainless-steel pan for steady, repeatable readings. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

A triple beam balance finds mass by comparison: the object on the pan is balanced by sliding poises along three graduated beams until the pointer rests at its zero mark, and the three beam readings are added together. Students use it to weigh chemicals for solutions, measure specimens and objects in physics and biology practicals, and find mass for density experiments. Because it works on levers rather than electronics, it also shows learners how a balance actually functions.
For good results, stand the balance on a firm, level bench and check that the pointer sits at zero with the pan empty. Move the heaviest poise first, then fine-tune with the smaller ones; the notches let each poise seat positively, and the magnetic damping settles the pointer quickly. Place hot items or loose chemicals in a weighing boat or on weighing paper, never directly on the pan.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this Triple Beam Balance from Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers. As a school laboratory equipment supplier in India, the company lets buyers combine the balance with weighing accessories and other measuring instruments in a single enquiry. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

What are the capacity and readability of the Triple Beam Balance?
The Triple Beam Balance (SLE/ME/01) has a capacity of 610 g and a readability of 0.1 g. That range covers most school and college weighing tasks, from preparing solutions to measuring objects for density and mass experiments.
What kind of pan does the Triple Beam Balance have?
The Triple Beam Balance has a stainless-steel plate platform 6 inches (15.2 cm) in diameter. Stainless steel is easy to wipe clean, but samples should still be weighed in a boat or on weighing paper to protect the pan and avoid losing material.
What does magnetic damping do on the Triple Beam Balance?
Magnetic damping on the Triple Beam Balance slows the swinging of the beam so that the pointer settles at its rest position sooner. Students get stable readings faster, which keeps practical sessions moving without affecting the 0.1 g readability.
Does the Triple Beam Balance need electricity or batteries?
No. The Triple Beam Balance is a mechanical instrument that works by balancing poises on its beams, so it needs no mains supply or batteries. That makes it practical for classrooms and laboratories where power points are limited or unreliable.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Triple Beam Balance?
The product description of the Triple Beam Balance does not mention a calibration certificate. If your laboratory or tender requires one, raise it in your enquiry through the contact page so that availability can be discussed before you order.
Who supplies the Triple Beam Balance?
The Triple Beam Balance is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets can request a quotation through the contact page or the enquiry cart.
What should a Triple Beam Balance quotation request include?
A Triple Beam Balance quotation request should give the number of balances, any accessories such as weighing boats or weighing paper, and the delivery location in India or abroad. Institutional buyers should also mention any tender or documentation requirements when writing to us.
