I have been researching electronic balance scales for use in measuring ingredients for titration and brewing. The Boreal balances at Edmund Scientific caught my eye. I need some advice as to what range of scale is most useful. I think the lower limit probably does not need to be lower than .1 gram. What should the upper limit be?
500g, 1000g, 2000g?
I will also want to use the scale for measuring moisture content in wood for a dry kiln but that might be a topic for a different forum..
TIA

The 7001DX for $30.00 is very reasonable. Not sure if 1 gram increments is accurate enough. I remember seeing somewhere that 1/100 gram sensitivity is best.
