Simple Beam Balance
Product Code : LSK-ML-10095
Simple Beam Balance (SKU LSK-ML-10095) is a durable plastic balance for teaching measurement and the basic idea of mass and balance. A sliding compensator sets the beam to zero before weighing, and the buckets detach so they can be cleaned after messy materials. It suits early-years, primary and lower-secondary maths and science classes. The Science Lab Supplies factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, manufactures this balance, and schools, tender contractors and distributors are quoted by the company itself.
Specifications
Details of the plastic beam balance are listed row by row in the table. In short, the whole balance is made of durable plastic, a sliding compensator brings the empty beam to a true zero for accurate readings, and the buckets lift off so they can be cleaned after each lesson.

Applications and Experiments for the Simple Beam Balance
With the beam zeroed, pupils can compare two objects, then balance an object against counters or cubes to measure it in non-standard units. That step from comparing to counting units builds the idea of mass that later lessons on grams and kilograms rely on in primary maths and science.
- Early years: heavier, lighter and balanced.
- Measuring mass with non-standard units such as Links Colour chains or Plastic Color Tiles.
- NCERT primary maths measurement: introducing weighing.
- Primary science: comparing the mass of different materials.
Why zero first? A beam that is not level at the start adds the same error to every reading, and the compensator is there to remove it.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Simple Beam Balance is supplied as one plastic balance with its detachable buckets and sliding zero compensator. Counters, cubes or standard weights for measuring can be added to the quotation as separate items if required, so the balance arrives ready for weighing activities.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a price for one balance or for a set covering every group in the class. The quotation states packing, delivery time and price for the quantity, and further maths lab manipulatives can share the same quote so that a whole measurement corner is ordered at once.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. To price balances for each group, send the group count via the contact page, collect the measuring items in the enquiry cart, or consult the lab tender page for bids.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the balance zeroed?
Move the sliding compensator along the beam until the empty balance sits level. Every measurement then starts from zero, which keeps comparisons fair and readings accurate across the class.
Can the buckets be washed?
Yes. The buckets detach from the beam, so they can be rinsed after sand, water or other loose materials and then refitted before the next group starts weighing.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Made in Saha, Ambala, this plastic balance is a product of Science Lab Supplies' own factory in India, and the company sends every quotation itself instead of passing buyers to a dealer.
How does it compare with the rocker bucket balance?
The rocker bucket balance comes complete with plastic and metal weights in a storage compartment, while this simple beam balance focuses on zeroing and comparing, with detachable buckets.
