2. Avoirdupois - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoirdupois

   Such scales are used to make the most accurate of fine measurements, such as in the needs of empirical chemistry. Avoirdupois ( / ˌ æ v ər d ə ˈ p ɔɪ z , ˌ æ v w ɑːr dj uː ˈ p w ɑː / ; [ 1 ] abbreviated avdp. ) [ 2 ] is a measurement system of weights that uses pounds and ounces as units.

   Before using a triple beam balance, the scale pointer should be at zero. [6] The zero adjustment knob can be used to adjust the scale pointer. Place the objects on the pan and adjust the riders until the scale pointer is at zero again, and then sum the weights marked (e.g. the 4th notch of 100 gram beam is 400g) to find the weight of the sample.

4. Shore durometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer

   There are several scales of durometer, used for materials with different properties. The two most common scales, using slightly different measurement systems, are the ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales. The A scale is for softer ones, while the D scale is for harder ones. The image of Bareiss digital durometer is shown in the photo.

5. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

   Typically, the reading scale of the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam in 10 gram increments, and the front beam can read from 0 to 10 grams. [2] The triple beam balance can be used to measure mass directly from the objects, find mass by difference for liquid , and measure out substances.

6. Cooking weights and measures - Wikipedia

   More accurate measurements become important in the large volumes used in commercial food production. Also, a home cook can use greater precision at times. Water at 4.0 °C (39.2 °F) may be volumetrically measured then weighed to determine an unknown measuring-utensil volume [ 13 ] without the need for a water-density adjustment.

7. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

   A digital bathroom scale is a scale on the floor which a person stands on. The weight is shown on an LED or LCD display. The digital electronics may do more than just display weight, it may calculate body fat, BMI, lean mass, muscle mass, and water ratio. Some modern bathroom scales are wirelessly or cellularly connected and have features like ...
