Will this scale readout in hundredths of a pound? For instance .25 instead of 4 oz?
924886
No. It gives you the results in grams (141g), ounces (5.0 oz) or a pound/ounce conversion (0 lb 5.0oz). It does not convert to hundredths of a pound (e.g., where 5.0 oz becomes 0.31 pound).
924887
I don't believe so. pounds are broken in to ounces. then the ounces are decimalized instead of broken into drachm (drams) or grains. I only use it in grams and kilograms, much easier than the confusing pounds ounces etc etc etc that don't easily relate to each other.

Just to be clear, tho the scale CAN be accurate to hundreths of a Pound . . . It will not read out in pound hundreths DIRECTLY if that is what you want. To get that accuracy, you have to read the weight in Ounce or Grams units.
924889
No, it won't tell you the hundredths of a pound, but it will tell you hundredths of an ounce. There are multiple read-out settings: you can do ounces, grams, or pounds and ounces.
924890
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.

The placeholders for the three read-outs are thusly:Grams: 0000Ounces: 000.00Pounds: 00:00.0From Escali's website:"Measures up to 11 lbs (5 kg) in 0.1 ounce (1 gram) increments." So, maximum measurements would look like this:Grams: 4989Ounces: 176.00Pounds: 11: 0.0Anything larger shows up as: EEEE

It reads out in grams or tenths of an ounce, such as 1.7 ounce. If it does it in hundredths of an ounce, I have yet in years of owning it figured out how to do that.
924893
When the scale is in the ounces only mode, yes. When it's in the pounds plus ounces mode, I get one place holder for ounces. So I agree with O.M.Holmberg who commented on 17 Feb 2013.This scale is very useful & attractive enough to leave out on the sideboard. I use it for weighing out portions of food I plan to eat.

Yes it is true but, It does decimal mode for pounds to the hundredth place so you just multiply the numbers to the right by 16 and you have your fraction of an ounce. It also does Grams and kilograms- This is perfect for my inventory control system - I need all ounces or all pounds by decimal - easier to enter as opposed to two fields - one with pounds and one with ounces. I am more than happy to have that. I already wrote a program that has the two fields but they accept decimals so its all cool. The code behind those fields turns everything into ounces for all the math. and then extracts it as decimal of pounds..

Yes you can. It will measure weight in grams, ounces, troy ounces and penny wieght in fractions.

Yes. This scale can be set to display weight as either grams and kilograms, or ounces and pounds. You only need to press the MODE option.

No. It can not measure in increments of 0.05 oz. It only measures in increments of 0.5 oz. It can only measure 14.5, 15.0, 15.5 oz., etc..
1949233
Yes. It can calculate between grams, ounces, lbs., etc. (I think there's six different sets of measurements it can do). Just be careful though. Mine sort of went on the fritz after two months or so of using it, and now it will not "tare" itself. So it basically keeps telling me that I have -11.75 oz. Very strange.... Good luck! :)

I believe it would. I know it measures in pounds and ounces and I have seen 4 ounces. But haven't specifically tried a letter yet.

I did some investigating with my scale - it doesn't convert to lbs once it's over 16 oz, BUT you can hit the "unit" button while the item is still on the scale, and it'll convert to lbs.

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.

Yes you toggle between metric and English. It displays lbs and decimal for ounces
1091474
Yes, but although the scale reads to milligrams, it's accuracy as listed in the manual is only .020g, or a tenth of a carat either way.

Can select either kilograms or pounds after turning on scale. Answers for pound weights are in decimal portions (i.e. .25 for 4 oz and .5 for 8 oz). Have not used the kilogram selection so don't know how it would display amounts less than 1 kilo.

It does indeed measure to the 1/100th reading (two decimal places). When adding or removing material being weighed, the scale automatically displays the new weight UNLESS the change is less than approximately .04 to .06 grams; when in this area, I tap the scale and it causes the recalculation. In my mind, this would mean the scales accuracy is only good to that point--the point where it automatically recalculates the weight, which on my scale is around .04 to .06 g. even though the display reads to the .01 grams.

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.

No scale measures volume. You can press the left button again and it will show pounds and ounces as weight. I hope this helps.

I use these scales in my BBQ restaurants and we weigh ounces, pounds, etc. Haven't tried to weigh in hundredths of pounds.

It starts going into pounds after a point, but it does so in a "pounds and ounces" format rather than a decimal. So for example, if I put a 1.5 pound item on it, it will show up as 1 pound 8 ounces on the scale. From there it should be easy to do what you're trying to do, simply multiply the pound figure by 16 and add to the ounces, so in this case it would be 16 plus 8 = 24 ounces.
