Counting Scales use weight to measure quantity. Counting scale are used for many different applications. For example, an arcade inside your local mall more than likely uses counting scales to determine the number of tickets a customer turns into claim a prize. Since the arcade has the ticket weight pre-programmed into the scale, all that is needed is to select that they'll be weighing tickets, then load the scale.

The scale from there, calculate the total number of tickets based upon total weight. It's that simple.

When buying a counting scale, it is good to select a scale with the proper capacity for your application. If you will be weighing items around 50 or so pounds, do not buy a scale with a 120 lb capacity as the higher the scale capacity, the more the accuracy fluctuates.

Do you run a shipping business, food service, or a jewelry store? If you do, you are going to need a legal for trade scale.

What is legal for trade?
Legal for trade scales are approved weighing machines to be used primarily in businesses that sell products by weight.

Who determines if a scale is legal for trade?
The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) managed by the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) is responsible for defining legal for trade scales. It evaluates and certifies all new weighing products to be introduced in the market. Many States require NTEP certification prior to installation of a measuring device.

Choosing a legal for trade scale is a good choice overall, as legal for trade scales are much more accurate. Being a legal for trade scale shows quality and adheres to protocols designed specifically for measuring objects.
