Weight Box (Product Code: SCL-513/06) is a boxed set of 9 metal weights from 1 g to 100 g used to measure mass on a two-pan beam balance in school and college laboratories. Students use it with a chemical balance in Indian labs to weigh salts and learn systematic weighing, and the polished wooden box keeps every piece in its place. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

On a two-pan chemical or physical balance, the object goes on one pan and weights are added to the other from largest to smallest until the beam balances; the weights on the pan are then added up to give the mass. The duplicate 2 g and 20 g pieces let students build up whole-gram values step by step, which is how beam-balance technique is still taught before digital balances. Typical tasks include weighing salts for standard solutions, finding the mass of a crucible before and after heating, and density experiments in physics.
Always lift weights with forceps rather than fingers, because skin oils and moisture gradually change their mass, and return each piece to the box as soon as it leaves the pan. If a practical needs values below 1 g, combine this set with fractional weights and a rider. Kept this way, a weight box remains dependable chemistry lab equipment in India for any school that teaches beam-balance weighing.
The Weight Box is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this set. It is made at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers instead of passing through a trader.
If a piece goes missing or a department wants a repeat order, ask us and the manufacturer arranges it. More about the company is on our company profile.

Which weights are in the Weight Box?
The Weight Box holds nine pieces: one each of 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 50 g and 100 g, plus two each of 2 g and 20 g. The duplicate pieces let students make up intermediate whole-gram values on a two-pan balance.
Does the Weight Box include milligram weights?
The Weight Box range is stated as 1 mg to 100 g, but the listed pieces start at 1 g. Please confirm with us whether fractional weights are included in your order; sub-gram pieces are also available as the Fractional Weight With Rider.
What are the Weight Box weights made of?
Our listing for the Weight Box describes the weights as chrome-plated brass, as brass with a nickel-plated finish, and as bronze. We confirm the material and finish of current production in each quotation, so state any preference when you enquire.
What tolerance or accuracy class do the weights meet?
A tolerance class for the Weight Box is not stated in our current documentation. For accuracy details or calibration certificate availability, contact us before ordering and mention the balance you intend to use.
Why should the weights be handled with forceps?
Fingerprints leave oil and moisture that slowly change a weight’s mass and can mark its surface, so pieces from the Weight Box should always be lifted with forceps and returned to their places in the wooden box after use.
Who manufactures the Weight Box?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Weight Box as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers order it directly from the manufacturer, which also handles repeat orders.
Can you quote for a full class set?
Yes. Send the number of Weight Box sets and balances you need, with the delivery location in India or abroad, and we will prepare a factory-direct quotation for your school, college or dealership.
