Hey Elizabeth,
I had a ~$20 digital scale that had a precision of 0.01g and a maximum capacity
of 100g. It worked great for a limited time and then died. I was hesitant to
buy another one of these, or something similar, as I figured I may be throwing
good money after bad.
I settled on an old and familiar favorite.
The Ohaus Cent-o-gram quad beam balance

311g capacity with 0.01g precision.

Okay, so now that I have 31 bits of
space rock and 1 impact breccia and I am working on putting
together my little database, I find that while many dealers
usually at least provide weights, they don't always have
dimensions (good to know so that I can figure out what size
display cases or membrane boxes I need to get)...
And then of course, I have several UNWAs that were a hodge
podge so they didn't really have anything!
So, what is the recommended scale to use for measuring the
mass??
I could go very cheap and simple on measuring the
dimensions, but was wondering if there was a recommendation
for any particular caliper or similar instrument??
I did search the Met List archive but nothing popped up for
caliper except in the use of displaying meteorites...
Clear Skies!
Elizabeth
