> > Where can you buy a 30g scale for $25 ? > > Results vary with only some correlation with $. 2 kg x 1g. About $US16 retail. Using 1g coins as test weights gives 1g accuracy and linearity across range= .. Reading varies a few grams when heated with a hairdryer. Has a extra temperature compensation element on the load cell. Reading repeatable on unloading/loading to 1g. Unusually good overall for a cheap unit. Mislead badly by closely proximate GSM cell phones. 500g x 0.01g $US12 retail from local Asian products importer. Display may hunt a count or 2 while loaded and 'just setting'. Good for money. Reading will vary significantly if you blow on pan (as it should). 7kg x 1g. $8US Shenzhen (Much less usually probably but I needed them THEN). Add 10% to reading to get correct weight !!!! Good enough for making suitcase packing decisions. ___________________ Useful: For weight_scales_2 < to << M_max_rdg of Scales1. Place scales 2 on scales1. Zero/ Tare scales 1. Place mass on scales 2 pan. Both scales measure same weight.
