Scale to the .001 Gram

[MacWQ33]

I need to find a scale that measures to the .001. I kinda need it before Monday, so I'm looking for maybe a store that you guys know of that might have something? You think they sell scales like that at like Staples or something? I would go online, but like I said, I need it soon...and can't wait for shipping and what not. Preferably a cheap one too lol.

[BigNugs4U]

probably not gonna find it cheap.

[BigNugs4U]

probably not at staples or anything. You gonna weigh out some coke with it i take it?

Maybe some kind of jewelry supply store?

[MacWQ33]

Not for coke. They are pretty cheap online for pocket ones ($20-40), but of course they go up to $1000 of dollars.

Yeah I think the ones online are for diamonds, so I was thinking maybe a jewelry store or something to that effect.

Eh I don't know man, I can hardly find a cheap .00 scale :/ gl, i'll post if I find one.

Why do you need to do it that presice?

[MacWQ33]

LOL!...never mind...I was surfing eBay and found one with 2 minutes left, so I bid and won. $30 with shipping, not bad at all! I guess I'll just have to wait for the shipping...oh well...

Ooo tight man, ebay ftw, gratz

For ever another point of a significant digit it's about another $250, to [.0] is about you know 30-40. To [.00] is about 250-300, and to [.000] is usually (for an actually a good one) is about $500 -$600 if not more. My AP Chem class got a couple(barely) for itself just this year, they were about $600 each for the [.000]

Why do you need to do it that presice?

RCs.

Use liquid measurements if it's for a powder. Scales that precise are astromically expensive.

[Cyclonite]

Why on earth would you need something that precise....penny pincher.

Iv never seen a triple beam that gos to .000....that more like a quadruple beam balance.

Screw the pocket digitals....buy a good triple beam and its the last one you will buy and never buy batteries again or wonder if its accurate.

Iv dealt with this guy for a long time and his prices are always good and excellent service....highly recommended.

[MacWQ33]

Yeah, if you want a really good one, you gotta shell out quite a few hundred bucks. I just need it for probably a one-time thing, so that's why I just got a cheap $30 one (it's a 10 X 0.001 Gram Diamond Scale, which is perfect for what I need). It'll work, not the best, but it'll do the job I need it to do.

Thanks for any suggestions though guys.

I and a few others were lucky enough to snag one for $25 a few months ago from a board member here who bough a shit load of them from a school that was closing or something. I forget. :rasta:

But I still have mine.

[trem0lo]

Yeah I got mine on ebay for like 20 bucks. It's a jeweler's scale and it measures to the tenth of a gram, but they have hundredth too.

Where can u just get a .0 one? any kind of convenience store? maybe a cooking shop?

[voodoochild0972]

if you go to college or if ur still in school, steal one from the chemistry lab. if not that u can get a nice one at staples but they arent even that acurate. you could probably order one online and pay like 30 bucks for rush shipping.

[Jaerl]

Right, steal a few hundred dollar piece of machinery from a school.. SMART!!

[voodoochild0972]

good point but if she really wanted it, she would find a way to do it. or you could get a janitor to do it for you

[coledog855]

Don't try to steal something from anywhere, especially a college lab. Our scales in some of my chem and bio labs are well over $1000 and they measure to the .0001. You steal one of those, and you will get caught and you will get sent to jail and/or prison.
