I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

How do we know your scale is right?

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

While it's hard to prove that it's been done correctly a lot of scales do come with calibration weights.

A lot of cheap kitchen scales are also just crap. Talk to your local drug dealer about what brand of scale might be right for you.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

My drug scale is my kitchen scale is my drug scale

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Why I like my mechanical one. I can recalibrate it myself. Heck I taught my 10 year old to do it, it isn't rocket surgery.

You can also weigh water, 100ml weighs 100 grams

[–] dan@upvote.au 8 points 11 months ago (3 children)

But how do you know that your measurement of 100mL of water is accurate?

[–] thomasw@sh.itjust.works 27 points 11 months ago

Just use a scale and measure 100g of water

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Just weigh it, duh.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

There are no moving parts so there should be very little drift.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

DONT FORGET TO SUBTRACT THE WEIGHT OF THE BEAKER

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Also just as plausible that there's still some broken noodle crumbs and fragments stuck in the bottom flaps of the box.

[–] abracaDavid@lemmy.world -5 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Huh? Well how do we know that any scale at all is right?

Pretty sure that every modern scale has a "tare" button that resets the weight and zeroes everything out.

[–] 970372@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, but if it measures every 1 gram at 0.98 gram, it will display less in the end

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That is only single point calibration. You want more than that in case the transfer function is non-linear. Ideally at least two for the extremes of range.

Basically imagine if y does not equal x, say y = x -0.01*x + b. Your tare is going to adjust b such that at x = 0 you get y equals 0. That doesn't fix x is equal to 900. At 900 you would get 891.

Generally speaking for weight you have differential or integral non-linearity. You fix both by multiple calibration points. Which leads to the range transition problem but whatever. No excuse anymore with FPGAs.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Taring isn't the same as calibration. Every scale should have instructions on its tolerance (± x grams) and a calibration weight. You'll have to buy the calibration weight separately.

[–] QTpi@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Well how do we know that any scale at all is right?

My lab has weights that get calibrated against a NIST standard annually. We use those weights to perform daily quality control that our scale is accurate (to +/- 0.01g). If the quality control fails then we recalibrate the scale.
