About This Product
A boxed weight set is used to check a balance reading and to make up known masses for physics and chemistry practicals, such as density, moments and spring-extension experiments. Lifting the pieces with forceps keeps grease and moisture from the hands off the metal surfaces. Schools, colleges and institutes in Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Honduras and France can order the 500g Weight Set (10 Weights for Balance) from Educational Instrument.
