Does this scale flip to pounds after reachiing 16 oz.? For making soap, you need to be able to measure in ounces above 16, but not pounds.

Once the unit exceeds 15.95 ounces, the unit converts to lb:oz. "For examble, an item that weighs 17.8 oz will register 1 lb:1.8 oz." This unit also gives the choice of grams, kilograms. We like the idea of placing a container on the scale first and it autimaticaly will adjust for the weight of the container and then add the ingredients.

Yes, The manual states: "when the unit of measurement is set to oz, once you exceed 15.95 ounces, unit converts to lb. It also converts from grams to kilograms too.

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.

When the weight exceeds 16 ounces then it will be displayed as pounds and ounces. For example, 17.5 oz. will be displayed as 1 lbs., 1.5 oz.

No it does not. It will go xlbs xoz. However I use this other model for my lotion making -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001N07KUE/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=crazforsavi-20&camp;=0&c;reative=0&linkCode;=as4&creativeASIN;=B001N07KUE&adid;=0ESXF3MRMCD4WXF449WE&

yes you can set it to ounces, and it stays on its last setting when it shuts off. I haven't personally tried pushing it past 11 lbs which is the limit it states, but i've gone as high as 10 lbs 5 ozs on it. and it read the same as the scale at the post office. I can't imagine it working much past it's stated limit though. but i've never tried so..i can't say honestly. But its a good scale. Its light and easy to store away as its small. Something you can put in a desk drawer.

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.

Sorry I'm so late, was out of town. This scale measures ounces from 246.90 to 0.05 - which means anything under 1/2 of an ounce reads 0.00. You can get 0.1; 0.2; 0.23; 0.46 etc. readings. The good thing is, if you need more accurate measures - you can just go to grams (which measures from 7000 to 1). I hope this answers your questions. By the way - I love this scale! Its the best I've ever had - I make soap; creams; lotions; perfume and anything else along those lines. It's really sturdy, accurate, versatile and easy to use.

Good question! I never really tried anything lower than an ounce, but I wanted to help you out so I took out the scale and put just a piece of paper on it and it did show .1 oz.I love this scale and it is very accurate. Matches the post office scale.Highly recommend it!

I believe it only weighs to one decimal place, e.g. 1.2 oz. I hope this helps. I might add that it is a great little scale. I use it all the time to mail packages.

Press the Unit button on the left and read the designation. You may need to press it 2 or three times to get to the OZ. which will take you to lbs. when what you are weighing reaches enough weight to measure in lbs. I know this is tardy, but I hope it helps.

Sorry it took so long to respond. This is a very accurate scale. I cant remember exactly, but i weighs in kg, lbs. Of course oz. are displayed with the lbs settings i.e 12.5 as an example. With a plus showing the temp. Would highly recommend this product

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

While the scale is on, you can switch from oz to grams. If you turn it off the scale while set to oz and then turn it back on, it will resume at oz and vice versa. The other convenient feature is the surface is entirely flat which helps w the cleaning process.

Well, ounces can be either weight or volume. I use the metric system for soapmaking (even in the US - it's tons easier!) and measured each cavity at 75mL - I think that's between 2 and 3 ounces by volume. My digital scale toggles between units of measure so I tossed a bar on it to weigh and it came out at 2 ounces exactly (though that was a hot process bar so the corners of the mold may not have been full). For volume reference, I have normal human hands and a bar fits almost exactly in my palm. I have not tried the oval mold, but I imagine it's much the same quality. Obviously, the sizes will be different between the two styles of mold.

So this scale measures in lbs. to two decimal places; it measures in kilograms to three decimal places; it measures in kilograms/grams (e.g. 4kg-421gms);it measures in lb/oz (the oz portion is one decimal place, (nearest tenth of an ounce)). Hope this helps!

I would say so. It is a very accurate little scale. I don't know what you weigh the soap in, just make sure your container is not so large that it covers the digital readout. I use this scale for packaging feta cheese in 8-oz. deli containers and it works beautifully.

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.

I did not get this as a gift, and it was not measuring correctly, I use the manual, and followed the steps, and it still would not give me the correct measure, I make homemade soap and bought this scale hoping that it would live up to the reviews, but it did not. I tried this scale on two batches of soap and each time it gave me the incorrect measurements, I had to end up recalculating my soap recipe. I know what the reviews said and I bought it based on the reviews, but as I said in my review, I will not purchase this again.

Yeah, that is strange! But the soap says 32 oz, as in 2 pounds. Sorry, your guess at the discrepancy is as good as mine. Ha! Feels like 2 pounds to me! Good soap.

yes it weighs in increment oz. I make jerky as a hobby and I have some people that like it so well that they buy from me when I make it and I use this scale to weigh it out. I like to get as close to a pound as I can. You will not be disappointed with this scale, I love it.
