SCALES

But maybe you don’t weigh enough? Make that, maybe you don’t weigh often enough. We’re talking about the precise weighing of substances topping out at 5000g, or 176 oz. Good for the lab or kitchen, this 7” x 5-1/2” digital scale has a stainless steel, brushed-aluminum top and a high-precision sensor. Stand stands about 1/4” high. Has a backlit LCD display, zero function, auto power-off, low battery indicator, overload indicator, g/ml/oz/lb’oz units, and it takes (2) “AAA” batteries, which you supply, along with whatever it is you’re weighing.

This (10) piece set of weights are brass cylinders topped with knobs. The weights are stamped on the top. There are (2) each of 1, 2, 5 and 10 grams, plus (1) 20 and (1) 50 gram weight. Our each is the full set of 106g. 

A honey of a little digital scale, the techies in the back room say. This improved Triton T2® scale is pocket-sized (5-7/8" x 3-1/8" x 3/4" thick), and measures up to 300g x 0.1g, 10.5 oz x .005 oz, 190 pennyweight x 0.1 dwt, and 9.6 Troy ounces x .001 ozt. Has a zero/tare button and a cover that can be removed for use as a larger tray. Comes with (3) "AAA" batteries.

Weighing is easy with this scale's 7" square x 2-5/8" deep dishwasher-safe, easy-pour bowl for kitchen use, and letter holder and mailing tube holder accessories for office use. Goes up to 7kg (7000g) x 1 gram increments and 15.4 lbs in g, kg, lb and oz increments. It has tare, hold, programmable auto-off, and an adjustable audible beep and backlit read-out angle. Takes (3) "AA" batteries, included. Excellent for kitchen, lab or office.

About 1/100 of this solid brass 100g cylindrical weight. Measures 1" dia x approx 15/16" tall with a 7/32" ID cup hook at the top. Pretty. Useful for calibrating scales. And accurate to within one percent, which is one reason for this great price, because if it hit 100g on the head every time, we'd be charging you a heck of a lot more.

This isn’t one of those antique scales of justice you see in law office logos, but it works like one. Technically a “balance,” ours is plastic, from SI Manufacturing, and just right for middle-schoolers. Measures 12” wide x 5-1/4” deep x 4-1/2” tall. Has a 10g beam for fine adjustments, accurate to .5g, (2) removable pans that are 4-1/4" square at their base and 4-11/16" on top with 1" high sides, and a (7)-piece brass mass set that fits in holes in the base of the balance—(2) at 50g, (2) at 20g, and (3) at 10g. Includes an activity guide with several experiments for students to learn about balances and mass. Also has a centering slide weight on back to zero the balance. Please unpack carefully; this is a finely tuned machine, like you.
