Physical Weight Box Of 100gm Iron Chrome Plate
Product Code : SCL-AM-12097
Physical Weight Box Of 100gm Iron Chrome Plate (SKU SCL-AM-12097) is a boxed set of chrome-plated iron masses from 1 g up to 100 g, with aluminium fractional weights down to 10 mg, used with physical and beam balances and for mass-based mechanics experiments. It fits school, college and university physics labs. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the weight box in its Saha, Ambala factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India, and ships it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Physical Weight Box
The weight box supplies known masses for weighing on physical and triple-beam balances and for loading mechanics apparatus. Combining the 1–100 g pieces with the 10–500 mg sheets lets students build almost any value to the nearest 10 mg, making it practical mechanics lab equipment in India.
- Class 9 and 11 physics: measuring mass on a physical balance by adding known masses until the beam balances.
- Checking analogue and triple-beam balances against known masses before a practical session.
- Principle of moments with small loads on the Moments Disc Apparatus, and density by displacement using an Overflow Vessel (Eureka Can).
Always lift the masses with forceps, never bare fingers, since skin oils and sweat can corrode the chrome and change the mass; spare Forceps can be added.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each box holds nine chrome-plated iron cylindrical masses (100 g, 50 g, two of 20 g, 10 g, 5 g, two of 2 g and 1 g), a boxed set of aluminium fractional weights from 10 mg to 500 mg, non-magnetic forceps, and the velvet-lined hardwood storage case with clasp.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations are available for a single weight box or for one per balance across a whole laboratory. Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity on each quotation, and the matching balances can be quoted together with the weights.
Registered for export with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. To enquire, use the contact page or add the box to the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers tender supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the smallest mass in the box?
The fractional set of stamped aluminium sheets goes down to 10 mg and up to 500 mg, so together with the 1 g to 100 g cylinders you can make up masses in 10 mg steps.
Why are the iron weights chrome plated?
Electrolytic chrome plating protects the solid iron from moisture, sweat and laboratory air, which would otherwise rust the surface and slowly change the mass of each piece.
Is this set suitable for analytical balance calibration?
The masses are adjusted to OIML Class M2, which suits physics mechanics experiments, physical balances and triple-beam balances in teaching labs rather than calibration of high-precision analytical digital balances.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer. The weight box is produced at its own plant in Saha, Ambala, India, which means pricing and quotations come straight from the source of production.
