Can you weigh fractions of grams ie. 1/2 gm, 1/4 gm, with this scale ??

No, grams and mL read in integers, oz read to 1.5 decimal places., ie. 3 gm, 5 mL, 3.10 oz, 3.15 oz.

I have weight items as small as 0.2 grams but I dont know how accurate it is. I have also tested it and found it to be accurate from 1 gram to 50. Good product.

it can weigh at 10th of grams... like 1.6 grams. instead of 1 gram then 2 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.

I only use the scale on the metric base. But I checked with an item of 15 gramms (which ist equivalant to 1/2 oz) and the weight was correct.

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

You sure can, though I wouldn't recommend weighing anything heavier than 4 quarters (~22g) as the limit of the scale is 20g (0.70z). It's quite accurate as a compensation, however, you just have to calibrate it and check it with the included masses. Hope that helps!

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.

The scale I received weighs ounces and grams only, but down to the 1/100 of each. If you can convert n.nn grams to grains, and 1/100th of a gram is sufficiently accurate, then you should be able to do what you need to do with this scale.

You can weigh anything you want on a scale. The scale doesn't discriminate against herbs. Of any kind. The scale comes with two clear trays that can be used to hold the items being weighed, a smaller and a larger one. They can hold things that might spill over the sides of the scale, and then the tare button can be used to zero the weight with the empty tray before adding your items. The scale weighs grams to one decimal place, so handles fractions of grams to tenths of grams. This is what I needed, too, in terms of more precise weights. I am still very happy with the one I bought and whenever I mislay it I start to panic. I wonder if I should buy a spare, though it seems profligate. You can weigh anything you want on a scale.

This scale can weigh in fractions of pounds (100.2 pounds), but not under one pound. If you click on 'Smart Weigh' which is a link under the product title, you'll go to an Amazon page that has kitchen scales and other scales that can measure in grams.

This scale is light weight and easy to read, sorry I'm not sure at 1 or 2 grams.

It scales in one tenth oz but also in whole grams. At 28 grams to the oz the conversion shouldn't be difficult. I often use the gram scale

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.

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.

Nope.Are you sure you need to measure 1/100th of a gram? 1 gram is pretty light. There are more than 28, but less than 29, grams in 1 ounce.If you really need a scale accurate down to 1/100th of an ounce, you're going to need a laboratory grade scale. And I don't want to know what you're weighing.
