What is the grain weight capacity and accuracy of this scale? I'm guessing 1500 grs max. What is the variance? In tenth or hundredth gr and by what?

Randy you guessed correctly, 1543.2 grs is the calibration weight that comes with the scale, it will weigh out more than that but I never tried how much. Variance is one tenth gr. Scale is very sensitive to any air movement in the room and that's good in my estimation.

Yes, 1500 grs max. Accuracy to 1/10 gr. I mostly use grams for now.. found to be accurate to within .05 grams. Hope that helps.

It shows 1543.2grains + or-0.1 ! Iwould like to say that I recieved mine with no instruction and lyman was great to work with on any question,once calirated,right on!

Yes, 1,543.2 grains is the maximum grain weight. There is a + or - of 0.1 grains. If using grams, it is 100.0 grams max. + or - 0.01 grams.

Yes. however for other units of measure it will go to hundredths(.01) or thousandths(.001 with the thousandths digit only representing a 0 or 5) since it has different units built in. For reloading it will measure grains to the tenth.

Yes. This scale measures in Oz, Ozt (Troy Oz), Grams and Gr (Grains). It is very accurate and did not need any calibration out of the box.

The scale rounds to the nearest 1/10th of a gram. (if using grams. It also weighs in oz) So if something weighed 3.55 grams the display would read 3.6 grams. If something weighed 3.83 grams the display would read 3.8 grams.

I have no other device to compare it with so I have no idea of it's accuracy. We use it for comparitive purposes so for that it's useful. The "manual" is very tiny page, with a tiny chart for weighting and frankly I've misplaced it. Other than that, there is little info. However it does seem very well made. I has the feel of a Fluke multimeter.

It's accurate to a tenth of a pound. It does weigh consistantly, so if you step off and weigh yourself again there isn't a difference, unlike cheaper scales.

The calibration weight may vary by the model of the scale. Mine is a Blade - 1KG. It uses a 500g calibration weight. Look in your owners manual. If yours specifies 500 and it's "asking" for 1000, it may be defective.

Well...it calibrates to a given 1 gram weight, and once calibrated it gives precise weights on other known items as well...down to fractions of a grain. It also repeats those measurements. I don't know the factory tolerances but for my usage its more than accurate (and repeatable) enough.

Just bought one of these scales (January, 2014). As Alicia notes, the current model does *not* support all 6 advertised modes. Missing are Newtons and grains. The instruction sheet now lists only four measurement modes: g, oz, ozt, and dwt. When you turn the scale on, there are many other measurement modes listed including Newtons, grains, carats, and pounds. The scale only allows usage of four of them.

Sorry, but at the end I did not buy that scale, I bought one from another seller.Guess who makes them?: ChinaThe way I found out is to call the seller and ask him a tricky question; like: what about if scale accuracy is not what scale manual states? He will most likely state he will contact the mfr: Bingo!( For your information if the manual says scale has an accuracy of +/- 0.2 pounds of full scale reading, this means for example if you weigh yourself and scale reads 110 pounds +/- 0.2 pounds for a total of 109.8 pounds or 110.2 pounds.So Accuracy is OK. If the deviation is greater, scale accuracy is bad) Sorry, but at the end I did not buy that scale, I bought one from another seller.Guess who makes them?: ChinaThe way I found out is to call the seller and ask him a tricky question; like: what about if scale accuracy is not what scale manual states?

I noticed the discrepancy of weight as well when I ordered it. Certainly, it is more than one pound... Reality is that it feels less than fifteen pounds. I don't own a precision scale so I'll say 15.

Hi Allen. I checked on my own same scale and it does weigh ounces and if "gn" means grain, then it also weighs grains too. Hope this helps.
1754742
Yes. It has a setting for "gn" which is supposed to be for grain. It's a great little scale!

Sorry. I use it to weigh yarn and spices. Haven't needed that much accuracy.

No. The scale reads + or - .1 or .2 grains, so what you will see is 14.1 to 14.3. I would be very surprised if it came out to be exactly 14.3.

I am very pleased with weightMax scale , very accurate , I have mine since 15 months and no problems

The manufacturer calls the "Accuracy" as the "Acceptable Tolerance" and it is "+/- 0.02 g." Exactly the same calibration standard weight doesn't always read the same number (measurement repeatability). But my 100-gram calibration weight has always read within this "+/- 0.02 g" accuracy. I've found that the "sensitivity", or the "minimum measurable weight", is about 0.03 gram. There is some hysteresis effect to it. That is, after you measured 0.05 gram, then you can reduce the weight to the minimum 0.03 gram. You can't directly measure the 0.03 gram weight without adding some additional weight first, then take away the additional weight. The "reading resolution", or the "Readability" as called by the manufacturer, is, of course, "0.01g."
