What Is the Dial Platform Scale Used For?
A dial platform scale gives a direct reading without weights: the load deflects a spring inside the case, and the pointer turns across the dial in step with it. That makes it a handy weighing instrument for the bench or store room — for bags of soil or sand, water containers, produce for home science, or the loads used in force, friction and simple-machine activities. Strictly, a spring scale responds to weight, the force of gravity on the load, even though the dial is marked in mass units, which makes it a good talking point when the difference between mass and weight comes up in class 9 science and in mechanics lab work.
Stand the scale on a firm, level bench and check that the pointer rests on zero with the platform empty; if it does not, turn the zero adjustment knob below the platform. Place the load in the centre of the platform, wait for the pointer to settle and read the dial square-on at eye level to avoid parallax. Keep loads within the 50 lb capacity. The stop mechanism guards the spring when someone picks the scale up by its platform, but carrying it by the base is still the gentler habit.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 scales; one scale per lab group lets several teams weigh at once.
- Dial units — the listing gives capacity and graduations in pounds and ounces; if you need kilogram or gram markings, say so and JLab will confirm what it can supply.
- Finer weighing — for small samples, add an electronic or pocket scale from the list below to the same enquiry.
- Delivery details — destination, delivery terms and any packing or labelling needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity and smallest reading of this scale?
It weighs up to 50 lb, about 22.7 kg, and the dial is graduated in 4 oz steps, about 113 g. That suits bulky everyday loads rather than small chemical samples.
Does the dial show kilograms?
The listing states the capacity and graduations in pounds and ounces only and does not mention a metric scale. If you need kilogram markings, state this in your enquiry so JLab can confirm the dial before you order.
How do I set the scale to zero?
With the platform empty, turn the zero adjustment knob below the platform until the red pointer sits on zero. Check zero before each weighing session.
What does the stop mechanism do?
It prevents damage to the spring when the scale is lifted by the platform, which extends the life of the scale in a busy classroom.
How does it differ from the Postal and Parcel Scale?
The Postal and Parcel Scale is listed for lighter items, up to 500 g read in 5 g steps, with a removable scoop pan. This scale has a flat platform and handles loads up to 50 lb.
What should an export quotation request include?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, the delivery terms you prefer (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling requirements, the dial units you need and, for tenders, the tender reference.
Who manufactures this scale?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of laboratory apparatus and measuring instruments for schools and colleges, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The dial platform scale is produced at JLab’s own works instead of being sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal with the maker directly; each scale is visually inspected before it is packed, and repeat orders are handled by the same factory. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Turkmenistan in Central Asia, Zambia in East Africa, Luxembourg in Western Europe, Mali in West Africa and Turkey in the Middle East. Institutions buying through a tender can find details on the JLab lab tenders page.
