Precision Scales
Accurate and Exact Precision for Routine and Critical Scalable Practices
A precision scale is a type of weighing device that is capable of measuring minuscule sample amounts with high accuracy and is employed in scientific research and industries where precise measurements are critical. METTLER TOLEDO precision scales come in various dimensions, including benchtop, compact, and portable models, and can measure mass to within a fraction of a milligram.
Advantages of METTLER TOLEDO's Precision Scales
Trusted Weighing Performance
You can be sure of accurate and reliable weighing results thanks to METTLER TOLEDO's high performance weighing cells and quality construction.
Simple and Reliable Operation
Touchscreen operation, built-in applications, a weighing-in guide, easy results transfer, and more make your daily weighing tasks fast and efficient. Trust in METTLER TOLEDO quality for outstandingly reliable performance.
Designed for Durability
With metal housings, overload protection, and high-quality materials, our precision scales are built robustly to ensure reliable performance for many years to come.
Easy to Clean
Cleaning your precision balance is quick and easy, thanks to smooth surfaces and rounded edges as well as cleverly designed weighing pans that simply lift off. Download our free cleaning guide and SOP.
Fast Results with SmartPan
The patented SmartPan™ weighing pan minimizes the effects of air movements on the weighing cell, providing high weighing stability. Results are delivered up to twice as fast and repeatability is significantly improved.
Designed for Compliance
LabX™ laboratory software works with our XPR and XSR precision scales to take care of all your data automatically, provide central control of instruments, task and users, and support compliance with 21 CFR part 11. Read more
Multiple Connectivity Options
RS232, USB and LAN interfaces make it easy to connect peripheral devices such as a printer, barcode reader, or even a PC. Our Bluetooth and WLAN options enable wireless connection.
Balance Status At-A-Glance
XPR and XSR precision scales feature the StatusLight™, which is built into the front of the display. It's easy to see if you have the green light for safe weighing.
Easy Leveling
From large adjustable feet to onscreen instructions to electronic guidance and level warnings, METTLER TOLEDO precision scales make it easy for you to level your balance - a crucial activity to ensure accurate results.
Convenient Applications
All METTLER TOLEDO precision scales feature a range of popular applications to simplify your daily weighing tasks, including checkweighing, piece counting, formulation, statistical quality control, and more.

FAQs
What is a precision digital scale?
A precision digital scale is an electronic weighing instrument in which the weight measurements are determined via digital/electronic methods. A precision digital scale has a digital display on which weight results are displayed in numbers. This is in contrast to an analog display in which the weight result is read from the position of a pointer in front of a scale. With a digital display, the result is unambiguous, whereas there will always be a degree of subjective reading error when reading the weighing result off an analog display. However, an analog display has the advantage that it is possible to determine weight values that are fractions of the divisions of the weight values. The smallest increment in the weight values on a digital display is known as the scale division, d.

What is the precision of a digital scale?
The precision of a digital scale is usually referred to as its readability. This is the smallest difference in weight that can be recorded on the balance and is known as the scale division, d. The smallest difference in weight that can be determined on a precision balance should not be confused with the smallest amount that can be weighed accurately on a precision balance. This is known as the minimum net sample weight.
What is a precision weighing scale?
A precision weighing scale is another name for a precision balance, sometimes also referred to as a precision scale, precision lab scale or top loading balance.
