Truweigh Sharpshooter Scale 20g x 0.001g
The Truweigh Sharpshooter (20g edition) is a professional-grade milligram scale engineered for those who demand the highest level of precision and consistency. Featuring a maximum capacity of 20g and an incredibly fine readability of 0.001g, it is specifically tailored for tasks where even a single grain matters, such as reloading ammunition, scientific research, or weighing precious gemstones. The scale is equipped with a transparent flip-top draft shield, which is essential at this level of sensitivity to block out air currents that could otherwise cause weight fluctuations.
The device features a high-contrast backlit LCD screen that clearly displays measurements in several units, including grams, grains, carats, and milligrams. Its compact, tactical design makes it highly portable, allowing you to bring laboratory-level accuracy to any workbench or field location. The weighing platform is crafted from premium stainless steel, providing a stable and durable surface that is easy to maintain. To assist with professional handling, the scale often comes bundled with a calibration weight, specialized tweezers, and a small weighing pan to prevent skin oils from affecting the accuracy of your samples.
Operation is intuitive through tactile buttons that manage the power, unit switching, and the critical tare function. The tare feature allows you to zero out the weight of the expansion pan, ensuring you only measure the net weight of the materials inside. For long-term reliability, the Sharpshooter includes built-in overload protection to safeguard its delicate sensors and an auto-off feature to conserve the life of the included AAA batteries. Whether you are a hobbyist reloader or a professional gemologist, this scale provides the specialized resolution required for the most exacting standards.
WARNING:
- Hyper-Sensitivity: This scale is sensitive to air movement, vibrations, and even nearby electronic devices; always operate it with the draft shield closed.
- Extreme Capacity Limit: Never exceed the 20g maximum weight, as the 0.001g sensors are extremely fragile and easily damaged by excessive pressure.
- Calibration Requirement: Due to its high resolution, the scale should be calibrated frequently with a certified weight to maintain its milligram accuracy.
- Storage Caution: Store the scale in a climate-controlled environment to protect the high-precision internal components from moisture and temperature extremes.
NOTE: For the best results, use the scale on a heavy, vibration-free table and allow the device to warm up for 30 seconds after turning it on. Always use the provided tweezers to place items on the platform, as fingerprints can actually add enough weight to skew a 0.001g measurement.
