Compact Balance
Product Code : SCL-PL-12337
Compact Balance (SKU SCL-PL-12337) is a small electronic top-pan balance weighing up to 620 g in 0.1 g steps, with an LCD readout and a stainless steel pan. Students use it for mass, density and quantity measurements in school physics, chemistry and biology practicals and in diploma labs. Science Lab Supplies supplies this balance from Ambala, India to schools, colleges and training institutes, as well as tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The balance measures 13.5 x 20.1 x 4.1 cm and carries a 128 x 142 mm stainless steel weighing pan. It runs on three AA 1.5 V batteries or on 230 V, 50 Hz mains through the adapter, so it can be used at a bench without a socket. Calibration is external, using the supplied 500 g weight.

Applications and Experiments for the Compact Balance
A 0.1 g digital weighing balance 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.
- 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. Reach the sales desk on the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page for tender supply.
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.
How is the balance calibrated?
Calibration is external. A 500 g class M1 calibration weight is supplied with the balance for this purpose.
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?
Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, a source of school physics lab equipment in India, supplies it and can quote it with your other lab items.
Related Weighing and Mass Items
These four items work with the balance in mass and density practicals: a higher-capacity model, a finer-reading balance, a slotted mass set for force experiments, and equal-volume blocks for comparing densities. Any of them can be priced on the same quotation.
- Compact Electronic Scale — the 1,200 g version with 0.1 g resolution.
- Digital Balance — 3 kg capacity with 0.01 g readability.
- Mass Set with Hangers — steel masses from 10 g to 1000 g.
- Equal-Volume Blocks of Different Materials — same-volume blocks for density comparison.
