I used water. Water weighs 1.0 grams/ml. Using my old trusty Ohaus triple beam balance I weighed a plastic container and then set the scale to 500g and added enough water to bring the total weight, water+container, to 500g. I then used the 500 gram container+ water to calibrate the digital scale. It worked pretty well, it's accurate to at least 1 decimal place, i.e. 0.1g which is enough accuracy for most everyday things until I get a calibration weight. If you need a smaller calibration weight just use less water remembering the density of water being 1 gram per milliliter. It helps if you have a second scale handy to weigh it against.

Interesting and smart. Only I would not recommend a soft carpet under the scales when calibrating, but some solid and flat surface. This should also be better when weighing. I think it says so in the user manual.

I like the guy.. I like him a lot, started off with a little bit of cursen, nothing too big just keeping it real!!
Good job on vid.

I weighed 10 us nickles one at a time on my properly calibrated scale. They vary quite a bit, , up to 0.15 grams. Not very accurate for calibrating things.

Great video.
How can you calibrate the silver scale?
I have the exact silver scale which needs calibrating.

Sadly the load cells need 15 mins warm up time with unstamped scales they vary the load cell 1/4 load is out 1/2 load is bang on full load normally is slightly heavy and it depends on ware and tear b.o.t.scales we work to 0.1 mg or 1 mg 1gram.2.or 5 our m.1.weights 20kg are accurate to 1 gram there treated like gold dust lol we used to make the weights up with lead in the base the old 56 lbs ones very often 5 or 10 tons very heavy work then they were stamped by weights and measures inspector being an apprentice in 1967 then had to make the inspector a cup of tea only no biscuit given as this was classed as a bribe old school saddly I'm still doing scales I keep the tron or kings balance alive in dundee since 1363 perth 1364 king david the 2nd.time I sure king robert the bruce 1319 had a charter as well loved you video fascinating the original 1kg weight in Paris which was made in london it's made up of approx 14.000 small grains they think because of cleaning its 1 out 😀😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜💙

American currency do not weigh exactly the same, they are all off by a little bit.
You need something that you know the exact weight and that's the problem I'm having

I looked up the 20 nickels thing on the US Mint website it says they weigh exactly 5 grams so 20 of those should work for a calibration weight if you don’t have one

In australia. Use 6 50c coins and a 2 dollar coin easy

i put sand in a plastic blow and added till hit the 500 G make you think thas good enough? i did recall a couple times make sure

[thewiseguy]

I had that same black scale mine just broke and need a new one it doesn’t way at all

[ozchick]

My Propert scale needs recalibrating. The instructions don’t help because I can’t even get grams to show up on the face. It simply shows error messages.

[jimmybundic]

Why would I need to re calibrate my scale of I already have one calibrated

[AllIsTaken]

just the fucking way you talk you gained a sub fucking hell XD

A useful thing to remember about the weight of water is this:
1ml of water = 1g
1l of water = 1kg

But remember to tare your container first

Or you need 80 uk pennies to make mofo 200 grams lol
