Gidday,
My electronic scales I purchased in anticipation some time ago, and now that
I am starting to use them I realise they are only accurate to 1 gram. This
is fine for the resin i.e. a 100gram quantity of resin, but how do I
maintain my ideal 1% accuracy with 25 grams of hardener? I know that I could
have made a balance scales which might not display this problem. I heard
Graham Singleton mention, on the very good video of the recent meet, that he
would not like to see an error greater than 1%. My scales will give me a 2%
accuracy. I am in the process of awaiting a reply from SP Systems in UK, but
as yet have not heard. I know of other builders using the same scale set
which is why I bought them.
This highlights a little adage that other builders may choose to adopt as
their building moto, or at least ponder. I use it for my flying, and it
goes like this:
Believe nothing because a wise man said it,
Believe nothing because it is generally held,
Because it is written,
it is said to be devine,
or someone else believes it.
But believe only what you yourself judge to be true.
(And the word of your inspector!)
At least my scales I can tare numerous times in the same operation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Tony Renshaw
