Best Scales? In UK


[ar...]

Recommended Posts

Hi I bought myself smartweigh Gem20 scales and no matter if I calibrate, the readings go up and down, I stand back, wait etc and it just fluctuates. Like it’ll say one weight, I’ll cut a tiny bit and it’ll weigh more!

 

Need to invest in better scales. Any suggestions please? Thanks, AP

Hi artistprayer and pete27 :smitten:

 

The Gem20 gram scale has a resolution of 0.001 g. It can't measure lower than 1 mg. While many buddies have successfully used this 20 USD scale to taper off, others are not equally happy as the figures displayed do not stabilize and jump up and down even after several calibrations.

 

When you go to Amazon.com and enter "analytical balance 0.0001" you will find a large number of precision scales that range from a few hundreds to thousands USD. The figure 0.0001 (0.0001g readability) means that it can weigh down to 0.1 mg . It also means that it is 10 times more precise than the Gem20 model. Those models usually have a glass protection to shield from air circulation. Specialists recommend to let it stay in a fixed place for about 30 minutes to have the temperature stabilized before starting to weigh.

 

I'm not sure if in the UK you can have the product directly shipped from the US.
