If you set for grams when you use scale the next time do you have to set to grams again or will it stay set to grams ?

It will stay set for grams... What ever weight measurment type you used when you turn it off will be teh one it starts up with. It also sets itself off if you don't use.. Good little unit.

gn is for grains, g is grams. If you are using this scale for reloading make sure it is set to gn. You have to use grams (g) for calibrating the scale.I have found mine to be very reliable for a travel/inexpensive scale always +-1gn. As for ct I have no idea what it is for.

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.

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 displays ounces or grams. minimum reading 1 gram, only reads in whole ounces. love this scale, use it every day.

hey rick, it displays grams and ounces (but not pounds). the upper right-hand button switches between ounces and grams, and also serves as the calibration menu. the unit also has a neat backlight for the numeric display if you ever use it in a place with poor lighting. great value for the price

theres a switch on the bottom of the scale... Press to change from grams to oz :)

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.

You press the button and it goes to zero. If you are using another container other than the bowl that comes with it, after setting the container on the scale you press the button to zero and then the only thing weighed is the contents.

I worked years ago in an electronic test dept. The most accurate way, short of multiple check points is to zero the scale. (exactly what it sounds like) then adjust for the highest reading on the scale. (100 percent) In this case it's 100 grams. For the sake of salesmanship, they say 1500 grains instead of 1543.23(which is what 100 grams equals - I Googled it) It's not "strange," it's the correct way to do it.

I used one item as a weight and changed the four different methods of weighing. The results:Weighs in lbs:oz (example: 0: 14.8 = 0 lb. 14.8 oz)Also weighs in lbs. (example: 0.92 = same as above)Also weighs in kilograms (example: 0.450kg)Also weighs in grams (example: 450g)Hope this answers your questions.

Tap the top and zero should appear. Little black tap underneath when depressed changes it from grams to lbs etc. With a container on it you can reset to zero. Feel free to contact with questions.

I just did a test with a lb of butter. If you have it set to oz it will remain on oz and give you a reading in oz (16 oz) You would have to switch the units into pounds to get it to register in lbs. I am loving this scale. I have even tested it on products that list serving portions weight and it is right on the button! What I love is being able to figure calories by weighing in grams and then multiplying by a "calorie factor" listed in the booklet. You can truly monitor your calorie intake doing this. Your reading will depend on where you have set the units of measurement. If you have set them at oz. they will read in oz. (even over one pound). To find the measurement in pounds you would have to set the units to pounds. It DOES NOT switch from ounces to pounds when you hit the one pound mark ... it will read 16 oz. Hope this clarifies.

This scale does read grams to two decimal places. I weighed my silver jewelry and got results like: 3.37 and 18.02 grams. I hope that this helps.

When set to display grams, the scale always reads two digits to the right of the decimal point. For example "23.65" That sad I the sale is only accurate to about 0.02 grams at best. So when it displays 45.67 the real wight might be between 45.65 and 45.69

Although this is a scale, it is only used to weigh ingredients. It will not tell you how many ounces pounds grams so forth. It will just tell you whether not you added enough or too much.

This scale will weigh in grams- by tapping the mode button until you get to the gram measure mode- starting at 0.0 grams. So, it will weigh items as light as 1/10th of a gram up to 2000 grams. Yes, you can tare the scale to zero with a box or any other item on top. I purchased the scale to weigh my lighter stained glass pieces. I like the scale but wish the top were a little larger- it measures 4"x4" which may be ideal for your use. The scale has a hold button which I found useful. When you depress the hold button the display shows the final weight for about a minute and a half, then the scale turns itself off. I hope this info. is useful in your decision making.
