About Gram Scales
Return to Gram Scales
Gram
scales are useful in many different situations.
They
can handle the most weight (how much depends on the scale) and the most
uses.
Gram
scales tend to have multiple weighing
modes, it is good to know what
kind of measurement you would like and purchase a scale which has that
as an option.
Jewelers
use Gram scales to measure the precise metric weight of gold, silver,
precious metals or rare coins.
Big
jewelry pieces, as well as a small jewel can be weighed on the same
scale.
Because
of their high capacity, most scales will come with convenient trays or
bowls to keep smaller pieces in.
The
Tare function
is common with this type of scale. Almost every Gram Scale on our Gram
Scale
Page will
contain this function because it is so useful. It allows you to
place a bowl or tray onto the weighing platform, then set the weight
back to zero so that the weight of the container does not effect your
measurements.
Depending
on the scale, a precise count of pieces can be determined (see Jennings'
CJ-300/600
).
Diabetics
or Dieters can use this type of scale to measure out food proportions.
Table-top
versions are also very useful in Laboratories.
They
can also be used to weigh packages to determine correct postage.
Certain
variations come in a pocket size for easy transportation.
These
are by-far the most useful and popular type of scale.
