noob question on digital scales, what is meant by this?

150 lbs./75 kg x .05 lb./0.02 kg

Hi,

I just wanted to clarify something for myself. Is this saying the weight capacity is 150lbs and can measure up to .05lbs of accuracy?

Thanks,

Sure looks like that what it says.   Accuracy over that range?  They claim +/- 1% for their TE-150 so I'd expect this one to be rated similarly.  But these things can run upwards of $300, and (IMO) the accuracy claims are subject to question.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply. I am also looking at this model

Scale - Baker's Dough - 8 kg x 5 gm graduation - epoxy

Therefore it is accurate up to 8 kg with a +/- 5gm.
