Digital Scales FAQ's
Choose 0.01g whenever you work in single grams. The gap is largest on small loads — a 0.1g scale that shows 1.2g could be 1.15g or 1.25g, an 8% miss. Leave 0.1g for bulk jobs in the hundreds of grams, where a tenth either way does not matter: nutrient salts or a full jar.
Stand it on a hard, level surface with nothing on the platform and wait for it to settle. Open calibration mode — usually hold the mode button until CAL appears — then put on the exact weight the display asks for and wait for the confirm. Take the weight off and check it returns to zero. The bench scale on this page does that with one button; pocket models use a combination from their manual.
Yes, if you need the number to be right. A scale cannot tell you it has drifted; it will keep showing confident, wrong figures. A 100g weight or a 20g/10g/5g/1g set costs a fraction of the scale and lets you check it in ten seconds. Coins and other improvised weights are not accurate enough to calibrate against.
Nearly always the surface or the air. A soft or uneven bench flexes under load, and a draught or a nearby fan will shove a 0.01g reading by several counts. Put it on a solid, level surface away from airflow, let it settle before you read, and check the battery — a fading cell is the third most common cause. Recalibrate if it still wanders.
No. Australian trade measurement law requires an NMI pattern-approved instrument for any sale of goods by weight, and an approved scale carries that NMI number on the instrument. The scales on this page are supplied for personal, garden and laboratory use and are not trade approved. Check the National Measurement Institute's approved list before buying for trade use.
