When you are purchasing a measuring device where you expect it to deliver results that are accurate to 0.001% (1 part in 100,000) or 0.0001% (1 part in 1,000,000) and to do so for an extended period of time (like 5 to 10 years), it is wise to invest in a quality device. Modern high accuracy digital scales are almost all based upon magnetic force restoration load cells. The load cell is the heart of the scale and must be properly designed and assembled of high quality components. How can you, the user, know the quality of the load cell? In truth, you can’t know and must rely mainly upon the reputation of the manufacturer.

Each of the named types (classes) of Balances (Scales) that appear in the title has its proper place the hierarchy of weighing. One thing that they all have in common is that they are high accuracy and high resolution devices designed to do precise weighing in many scientific and industrial applications. Where they differ is mainly in the weight ranges that they are designed to cover and their accuracy.
