Introduction

Dial-O-Gram Balance {Mvc-001s.jpg (22430 bytes)}The less sensitive of the two balances you will be using is called the Dial-o-gram balance. It can weigh objects and samples (up to 300 grams) to a precision of 1/100th of a gram--that is, to the second decimal place (0.01). In this lesson you'll need to learn how to use it to 1/100th of a gram by using its built in Vernier scale.

In this section, we will first focus on using the Vernier scale and then the steps taken in using a Dial-O-Gram balance.
