My son is doing a science project and needs to measure the weight of vitamins. Will it measure something that light?

This AC-650 will weigh in 0.1g increments and needs a minimum of 1.0g of weight or more. If you need to weigh under 1.0g than you should consider a scale that weighs in 0.01g increments.

I'm sorry - I do not use it for weighing things that accurately. I believe it does, though, from what other people said.

it measures with a reference to gravity, this does not work as a protractor. Wixey WR410 8-Inch Digital Protractor may be what you want in that case.

I'm using mine in Rigging class to measure weights varying from 1lb to 6lbs. It's pretty accurate for my application. I don't know about anything less than a pound.

I've had to weight larger boxes, and it is difficult to see the weight. If you put a box on it for long enough, however, the weight will lock, so you can remove the box and see. The display is very bright, but it is small. Still, for the price...

It's accurate to the nearest gram as best I can tell. If you are measuring chemicals and doing stoichiometry and it needs to be very precise, I wouldn't recommend a scale like this because it's more intended for quick measurements. For chemistry you'll probably want one of those scales with a hood.

HI Veronica, dont have scale that can weigh that light of an object but I would guess between 3 1/2 lbs. Doesnt feel very heavy at all when its on but I am 6'1" 230 so take that for what its worth lol.

I bought a 200 gram capacity digital gram scale on amazon for less than $15 and it's pretty accurate. Mine weighs to .00 grams which would work for your purposes. I think it's great for culinary and cosmetic measuring purposes (the small stuff of course). I'm not too sure about that cheap of a scale for something as pricey as precious metals and gemstones although it does weigh carats too. You can also get the 100g and 200g weight to calibrate the scale for better accuracy overall. People who said to use a kitchen scale with a 1 gram increment are pretty far off the mark, it seems like they didn't think that through. I do use a kitchen scale that has 1 gram increment but that would not be accurate for these smaller amounts. You may find that one of the measuring spoons is close, but you would have to test that out with a gram scale first.

Yes, this scale will read 3.7x grams with a small weight. I continue to be amazed at the accuracy of this balance; I taught chemistry for 40 years and bought this balance to weigh things for demonstrations in local schools. I have a set of calibrated weights and the balance is accurate from tenths of grams to over 100 grams. I highly recommend it.

it is sightly weighted but not too much. Its a great light though. One of the only ones with a bright enough light to really allow you to see what's going on. but its not that heavy.

Fill the drop spoon with exactly the stuff you want to measure, then weigh the amount. That's the most reliable way to find out.

Yes it will. the accuracy on the wattage scale is 0.0watts. So for example, if a clothes iron (1000 watts) is on for 1 second the display would show 0.1 watts.

You know ours weighs about a pound and a half light. I didn't realize it until I weighed on my old scale, then checked with the doctor's scale. Since my husband has macular degeneration, I was just glad he could weigh himself without my reading it for him. I just add a pound and a half to whatever it says. I didn't see anything in the user guide about resetting it.

I don't see why not. I have used it to weigh all sorts of things, example being by husbands medication.

That is what scales do.....measure weight. This is a scale, so yes, it measures weight as well as other measurable factors. This would be like asking if scissors cut or a toothbrush brushes teeth. :)

no. though you can place a larger object on it and press the Hold button, remove the item and see the weight.

Yes. It measures in Kilograms/grams when set to 0.00 by pressing the LB/KG button.
