However, I think they are mostly attractive because they just work so well. Try putting a kilo of something on several models of electronic scale that cost just a few dollars each and the spread of measurements is usually just 3 or 4 grams, and stays like that for a few years. --- End quote --- If you are lucky, even your kilo being 3 or 4 grams off may still be within the scale's tolerance to display 1.000kg :-DD |

I am pretty sure that both "pairfkup" and "fidelitykurz" are spammers, who intend to add a spam link to their posts soon. New user, old thread, marginally relevant posts -- all the indicators are there. And I believe we have had more or less the same spam posts in this thread a few weeks ago, cleaned up by the mods in the meantime. Both posts have been reported. I don't think there is much to be gained by replying to these. |

I bought one of these pocket sized scales a few weeks back in order to check a pluviometer (rain gauge) test jig. This is basically a jig that dribbles a measured quantity of water through the rain gauge. I’ve always been slightly curious about the repeatability of this jig so I decided to weigh the water used to fill it over the last few weeks and to my shock when I followed the instruction to fill the chamber to overflowing it was exactly the amount the jig was supposed to hold. Obviously not a laboratory grade instrument but it was a happy coincidence that it measured exactly what it was expected to (which isn’t a round number in grams, ends in a fraction) and that it’s been very repeatable |
