What are pocket scales used for?
Pocket scales are portable weighing instruments that are small enough to carry in a pocket. Despite their small size they can accomplish just about anything a regular-sized weighing scale can and are used by schools, jewellers and in laboratories for measuring small object mass.Click to see full answer.

Pocket scales are portable weighing instruments that are small enough to carry in a pocket. Despite their small size they can accomplish just about anything a regular-sized weighing scale can and are used by schools, jewellers and in laboratories for measuring small object mass.Click to see full answer. Also question is, what can scales be used for?A mechanical scale or balance is used to describe a weighing device that is used to measure the mass, force exertion, tension and resistance of an object without the need of a power supply. Types of mechanical scale include spring scales, hanging scales, triple beam balances and force gauges.Secondly, what can I use as a 500 gram weight? If you want a household ‘something’ that weighs 500 grams, use 100 sheets from a packet of A4 paper. By using other quantities of paper, it’s possible to ‘bracket’ the accuracy of your scale: 50 sheets will weigh 250 grams; 200 sheets will weigh 1000 grams or 1 kilogram (1kg) and so on. Beside this, what is a digital scale used for? Basics. This digital scale measures the weight of a pen cap as 0.98 grams. Digital scales work with the use of a strain gauge load cell. Whereas analog scales use springs to indicate the weight of an object, digital scales convert the force of a weight to an electric signal.What does a gram weigh on digital scale?A gram weighs 1 gram on a scale. A gram is a unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. If the scale is using other units, a gram weighs 0.0357 ounces. The kilogram and gram are units of mass in the metric system.
