  • Accurate Weight Can Mean Many Different Things
    For industrial purposes, accurate weight can mean many different things. When weighing a box for shipping by parcel service, it is only necessary to be accurate to the nearest pound. For this purpose, a scale should be chosen with at least four times this accuracy to avoid always “rounding up” to make sure the correct weight is not under reported. This will typically save 1 lb of extra reported weight in 50% of the packages shipped, or on average, ½ lb per package. It is evident that with even a moderate number of packages shipped, significant savings can result. Nonetheless, bench scales with accuracies of ¼ lb are not considered to be very accurate.
