[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 794057, member: 52763"] You're 100% correct! Fans of the digital technology often mistakenly believe the digit display is an absolute, which it rarely is. it could be 9 tenths of a tenth off either way and they have no way of knowing whether it is or not. That gives a possibility of a total of 1.8 tenths variation from load to load. At least a beam scale will repeat and you can see f it's off or not. Once I cut a 1.5" square of paper and weighed it. Leaving the sliding weighs where they were, I removed the paper & wrote my name on it. I then placed the signed paper back in the pan and could see a distinct difference in weight. That can't be consistently be done on a digital scale if you signature weighs 1/4 of a tenth grain. [/QUOTE]
