I used water. Water weighs 1.0 grams/ml. Using my old trusty Ohaus triple beam balance I weighed a plastic container and then set the scale to 500g and added enough water to bring the total weight, water+container, to 500g. I then used the 500 gram container+ water to calibrate the digital scale. It worked pretty well, it's accurate to at least 1 decimal place , i.e. 0.1g which is enough accuracy for most everyday things until I get a calibration weight. If you need a smaller calibration weight just use less water remembering the density of water being 1 gram per milliliter. It helps if you have a second scale handy to weigh it against.
Interesting and smart. Only I would not recommend a soft carpet under the scales when calibrating, but some solid and flat surface. This should also be better when weighing. I think it says so in the user manual.
Thank you you are absolutely bang on in many doctors surgery I have made a board under the scales as a deep pile carpet the scales give a false reading you can make allowance for re cal scales it's easy for me as 5his is my trade it only comes with practice you should try if you dont succeed do it on hard surface best of luck.😀😃
Jam that worked! my scale was showing 500- so I checked how much that was on ml-got my measuring cup filled up a very light plastic bottle with 500 ml of water and POOF! it read PASS ...and I am recalibrated! awesome-thx
I weighed 10 us nickles one at a time on my properly calibrated scale. They vary quite a bit,, up to 0.15 grams. Not very accurate for calibrating things.
@@essentialzmusic : Ess: my was or is off bought a larger one that black kitchen type, and all it has is 2 buttons, no ned to push this or that to calibrate it. the larger one works great I tested it and compared the by weighting water and the smaller one that need this and that was off, and thank you for ur video and responding greatly appreciate it.
I looked up the 20 nickels thing on the US Mint website it says they weigh exactly 5 grams so 20 of those should work for a calibration weight if you don’t have one
American currency do not weigh exactly the same,they are all off by a little bit. You need something that you know the exact weight and that's the problem I'm having
My Propert scale needs recalibrating. The instructions don’t help because I can’t even get grams to show up on the face. It simply shows error messages.

I like the guy.. I like him a lot, started off with a little bit of cursen, nothing too big just keeping it real!!
Good job on vid.
hahahaha thank you bud! :)

Great video.
How can you calibrate the silver scale?
I have the exact silver scale which needs calibrating.
I had that same black scale mine just broke and need a new one it doesn’t way at all
i put sand in a plastic blow and added till hit the 500 G make you think thas good enough? i did recall a couple times make sure
i dont see why not. should work. i luckily had another scale just to test after and make sure it was accurate but im guessing it would work :)

US mint is lying. "exactly 5 grams" right, plus/minus 0.2g
In australia. Use 6 50c coins and a 2 dollar coin easy
American currency do not weigh exactly the same,they are all off by a little bit.
You need something that you know the exact weight and that's the problem I'm having
Thats true. I just used my other scale to get 100 grams and then used that. I know its not the best method but it worked lol
I got in big argument wit my cuzzo over that.. He swears all nickels weigh 5 grams,! It's more accurate to use a penny, which weighs 2.50 grams
I've had nickels weigh almost 6 grams on calibrated scale!

Why would I need to re calibrate my scale of I already have one calibrated
Tell me you've never heard of scale maintenance without telling me you've never heard of scale maintenance.
I’m in the t rn this did not help
just the fucking way you talk you gained a sub fucking hell XD
😂🤦♂️ thanks bro

A useful thing to remember about the weight of water is this:
1ml of water = 1g
1l of water = 1kg
But remember to tare your container first
Thats great advice! Imma try that next time 🤗
P
Or you need 80 uk pennies to make mofo 200 grams lol
oh damn lolll
I need a 500 gram weight
Id try the water method like some guys have mentioned here just make sure it doesnt spill lol 😋
