Compact Balance
Product Code : SCL-PL-12337
Compact Balance (SKU SCL-PL-12337) is an electronic top-pan balance weighing up to 620 g in 0.1 g steps, with an LCD readout and a stainless steel pan. It suits mass, density and quantity measurements in school physics, chemistry and biology practicals and in diploma labs. Schools, colleges and training institutes, as well as tender contractors and distributors, can have it quoted by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India.

Applications and Experiments for the Compact Balance
As a 0.1 g digital weighing balance, it covers most school weighing: finding the mass of solids for density work, weighing out salts and reagents, and checking the masses used in force and moment experiments. Battery operation lets each student group have its own balance at the bench.
- Class 9–10 physics: measuring mass to calculate the density of regular and irregular solids, for example with the Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids.
- Buoyancy lessons: weighing the cylinders and blocks of the Archimedes' Principal Demonstration Set.
- School chemistry: weighing salts for solutions and following mass changes in reactions.
- Biology practicals: weighing seeds, plant material or samples before and after drying.
- Diploma and ITI lab courses: routine weighing of small parts and materials.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Compact Balance comes with its batteries, a mains adapter with EU plug and a 500 g class M1 calibration weight, so it can be checked and used on battery or mains from the first day. Any different plug type you need can be raised when you ask for the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one balance for the teacher's bench or a set for every student group. The quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and masses or density blocks from the list below can go on it too.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. State the number of balances and the plug type you use on the contact page or in the enquiry cart; weighing equipment in a tender is handled through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the capacity and resolution of the Compact Balance?
It weighs up to 620 g and reads in 0.1 g steps on its LCD, which suits most school and college weighing tasks, from salts and seeds to density samples.
How is the balance calibrated?
Calibration is external. The supplied 500 g class M1 calibration weight is placed on the 128 x 142 mm stainless steel pan, and the check can be done with the balance running on its batteries or on mains power.
How does it differ from the Compact Electronic Scale?
Both share the same pan, display, power options and size. The Compact Electronic Scale takes up to 1,200 g and comes with a 1 kg calibration weight; this balance is the 620 g model.
Who supplies the Compact Balance?
The balance is quoted from Ambala, India by Science Lab Supplies, a source of school physics lab equipment in India, and its batteries, adapter and calibration weight are listed with it on the same quotation.
