Digital Scales - the art of weighing

Industrial scales live up to many purposes like weighing packets and detecting moisture content. These balances have all necessary features like a tare function, automatic zeroing and piece counting for a faster workflow. Many of these scales have a RS232 interface for connecting them directly into a computer. This function can be used for archivating test results and other data on a harddisk.

Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on earth. Only because the hardness on the diamond's surface is variable, they can be grinded by other diamonds. This is because of the anisotropism, which can be verified in the different directions of the crystal. Diamonds consist of carbon which makes them flammable, unlike metals or other valuable materials. Diamonds can be identified by their thermal conductivity and their high reflection of light.

Digital Scales are available in many different styles and sizes. Electronic Scales have become extraordinairy cheap over the last few years. It's possible to buy scales with an accuracy of up to 0,01 grams for less than 20 Euros.

Digital Scales

Digital Scales are likely to be the most easy to use scales of all.
Almost immediatly the result may be read of the display. There are even scales with illuminated display which make it even more comfortable for the lazy eye.

Everyone has to weigh something sometimes. The ingredients for the famous cheese-cake, a letter to the lover (doesn't look good if he/she has to pay surcharge, does it?), the coin collection of the grandfather or the progress of the new low-carb-diet.

Well, bathroom scales for the weighing of people aren't exactly what we are about to treat here. But all the other purposes, especially where high precision, reliability or even mobility of the digital scale itself is needed are covered on this page.
