Is this a proper scale?

[Emanuel76]

I have two scales:
- 50 g, 0.001 g precision;
- 500 g, 0.01 g precision.

I want to dilute the materials.
With the 50 g scale, obviously, I can't. Only the bottle weights 100 g.
Is the accuracy of the 500 g scale (0.01 g) sufficient for this operation ?

Thank you!

For volumes that require 100 gram bottles? Sure. Scales for measuring butterfly farts at 0.001 g are good only for composing.

I love you!

A 400-500 g scale with 0.001 g precision is expensive like hell.

I use these for compounding test trials amounts, and larger too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/404196113866?
500 g / 0.001g Intelligent Analytical Balance Digital Lab Precision Balance Scale
Very reasonably priced.

I use a 5kg 0.01g scale for compounding larger qty.

True.
I asked them the shipping cost.

Compared to the one I found at a German company (I think) for $2000...

I knew that model from aliexpress. I didn't trust it - too good to be true. But if you say it's good, that's enough for me.


A slightly more expensive model, but it looks very good. 3 kg (its total weight). Two displays. Free shipping. Delivery 5 days.

Strange!
The price is $250.
But in the link posted here, on Basenotes, is $320.

A 500g x 0.001g scale is around $100.

The Dual display is interesting, I don't know how I would use it though. my scales orient to only one direction. The serial port on the back could be useful, but again, you'd need the proper interface software to utilize it. otherwise, you are getting a tall enclosure, but if that's the only reason to buy it, then I'd pass, as much of the time, the top of my enclosure is removed, anyway.

The enclosure helps to isolate wind / AC / heater blowing air interference, but I have set up my lab so that there really isn't any air turbulence issues, at the scale use areas, anyways.

Tax is likely for USA residents.

A $100 3 digit scale will surely be a steaming pile of shit. It’ll work okish, maybe, for a while.

Get a good scale.

I've used it for ages and it's great. *shrug*

No. It was displayed at the final check.

I can't find it.
100-300 g, ~$350.
These are all scales with 0.001 accuracy.

The PLC model cost half price, if it is available yet.

In the end I bought it from Amazon Germany.
Now it has arrived.

It has two adapters - one with the proper plug, that I can use here, and the other one is probably for UK (with three pins).

No battery included (1 x 9V battery is required, see the picture below).

It has 4 adjustable stands feet, to stabilize it. Of course, with 3 feets it would have been even more stable. 😋 But, that's it.
