Specific Gravity Balance Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-RTE-13239
Quick Answer: The Specific Gravity Balance reads the specific gravity of rubber and other elastomers directly from a scale, using a pivoted balancing arm with a pointer, in models for specific gravity ranges of 0.9 to 3.0 and 0.2 to 2.0.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Reads the specific gravity of rubber and other elastomers directly, so no calculation is needed
- Rigid scale with specific gravity printed on it, standing vertically on a heavy base plate
- Balancing arm pivoted at the centre of the scale on jewel bearings
- Two stainless steel pins hung with yarns at one end of the arm, and a pointer at the other end
- Sliding weight for initial balancing of samples of different weight
- Specific gravity ranges of 0.9 to 3.0 and 0.2 to 2.0 are available

About This Product
Specific gravity compares the density of a material with that of water, and it is one of the basic checks on rubber and other elastomers. A balance of this type weighs the sample in air and then in water, and the pointer on the scale gives the specific gravity directly without a calculation. The sliding weight is used to balance the arm at the start, so that samples of different weight can be tested. Alongside supply within India, the Specific Gravity Balance is offered for export to Botswana, Niger, Guinea-Bissau, Gabon, Syria and Japan.
