[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 946975, member: 25383"] I think you'd be stunned at what they use to weigh things with! I've spoke in the past about turning balance weights for gas turbine wheels, and I know of one group that simply uses about six different Pact electronic scales (depending on which particular lathe they are being machined at). They cut and polish these to about a +/- one and one half tenth grain window. Then they are sent to the lab for a final measurement. They use a $10K scale to make this check. This scale is checked every three months to another electronic scale which is known as the master. What it's checked against I can't say as I've never been in the lab when they did this. These guys are very serious about the compressor stages in a jet engine, as an explosion is extremely ugly unless it's in the pit. The only place they use an analog scale is on the shipping docks and during inventory when they simply weigh everything for a parts count unless it happens to be a finished product. As for the comparison to the Chargemaster, a tenth of a grain is a tenth of a grain weighing anything. gary [/QUOTE]
