is this scale good to weigh out 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 7 or 28.3 grams of marijuana buds? is it accurate if not whats the best scale to get for this

All i can tell you is this specific model can weigh up to 120g. I've only used it for mail, jewelry, etc... but it shouldn't matter what you are putting on the scale. Whether it be feathers, gold, steel, or herbs. Hope that helps.

I have used the scale to measure the weight of a letter, which would be less than an ounce. Since there are 28 grams in an ounce, I would think that by measuring in grams, you would get a measure that is closer to what you need than by measuring in less than an ounce. However, I do not measure such small amounts for my baking. For small measures, I use a tablespoon-teaspoon. Sorry I can't help.

No. It is only accurate to .01 g witch is a hundredth of a gram . And a mg is a thousandths of a gram. If you want to measure those amounts get a .001 scale

Hello, The scale reads in .1 gram increments, so it will read .1, .2, .3 etc and 21.1, 21.2 etc. Have a great day!

Unfortunately no. It gives three options: ounces, grams, or pounds and ounces. It does resolve the ounces to 1/100's of an ounce when in the ounce mode, and 1/10th of an ounce in the pound/ounce mode. It is extremely sensitive and repeatability is almost always perfect. I have compared it to known weights and found it to be extremely accurate.

For most accurate weight I would read it in grams then convert to ounces (28 grams in an ounce) I just tried a 2 gram weight which converted to 0.05 ounces when I changed units to ounces. (2 gm is the smallest weight I have)

It can only measure with gram accuracy.so, 12.34 g will show up as 12 g.Up to 20kg it should have tolerance 1g and between 20kg and 50kg tolerance is 2g.The scale which has accuracy 0.01g and can weight up to 50kg will cost more then thousand dollars

After you turn on the scale, just press the "mode" button. The display screen will switch from ounces to grams (it's kind of small and hard to see).

No. This scale only weighs in increments of .05 oz. so if you have .07 oz of anything it will show .05. If you have .03 of anything it will show .00. So this is not the scale for you. We never weigh anything less than 1 oz. so we are happy with this scale.

I find it to be within five milligrams above or below the unit being measured. That is if you calibrate the scale with the proper test weights, use it where there is little to no interference, etc. However, I find it doesn't measure items unless they weigh at least 30 milligrams, yet air and other things seem to effect it somewhat. Its worth the 20 or so dollars, but don't expect anything above average out of this scale. Measuring out anything that is 30 milligrams seems damn near impossible.

I routinely measure 0.04 grams, works for me but I have no way to compare. The calibration seems right on.

This scale does NOT MEASURE OUNCES, regardless of what others have said (yes you can convert, but who wants to?). It will display in g (gram), dwt (pennyweight), ct (carat), or gn (grain). The ACP-500 will display in ounces but you lose a little accuracy. (ACP-200 is accurate to 0.02g or 0.000705479 ounces where the ACP-500 is accurate to 0.02g or 0.00705479 ounces) For most purposes (when measuring in ounces) accuracy to 7 1/1000ths of an ounces isn't bad, especially when it will only display to the nearest 1/100th of an ounce.

It should be easy to calibrate (and never assume any measuring device is "factory calibrated"!). Just put an empty container on the scale, press the tare button. Scale should now read 0. Pour a cup of water and the weight should be 8.3 oz.

My scale is most accurate. One weight 0.6 ounces. (A little over 1/2 ounce). They're great. I used themfor mailing sports cards & DVD's with no problems. Hope this helps!

depents on rather oz' s are neccesary. weigh the same piece 4 times pounds are almost acurate 2 out of three times it may say 1lb then 15 oz then 1lb 1oz then 15oz then 1 lb just pick the 2 that match and I can only guess as this was the only scale i had to use. I threw it in my steel scrap bin. I have nothing good to say about it. Sorry

I purchased this scale as a teaching tool. Since receiving your question I have been using calibrated weights to check accuracy and it has been spot on. I have also rigged an apparatus that allows us to weigh odd shaped items such as a flake of hay and I have found this scale to very handy in the barn. I do not know how to calibrate it and it is clearly marked "not legal for trade" I hope this is useful.
