No - to do this right you should remove item, add or subtract, then replace.
That should circumvent the problem, if you have it, but it will take more
time. I was just lucky getting a free set of 0.001g accuracy scales as a
replacement. No need identified there to take the long-winded process of
removal and replacement.

But do now recall in my chemistry days being taught to always take the item
off and then place back on the balance after addition or subtraction..
So the correct method to overcome this would be to add a drop or two, then
take cup off balance and place back on, before adding more??

Cheers

Paul..

p.s surely you mean ISO A4 not A4..... i.e 297mm X 210mm not 11.?" x 8.?"
- how do I know the difference, lots of very expensive pre-printed cheques
that didnt quite line up........

You may remember a thread some weeks ago started by Ron Parigoris about
problems with digital scales that ignored any very small, very slow
increments in weight? His test involved weighing a piece of Letter paper,
then tearing it up and reweighing it, putting the pieces on very slowly.


After a long search for a piece of Letter-sized paper to undertake the test
(we use A4 over here) I tried it and, to my surprise, my scales failed!
