Question 1

If weighing a powdery spice that only weighed .001g, would it read it, or is there a min before it would pick it up?

Accepted Answer

I just got this scale and tested it. It will absolutely NOT weigh 0.001g of anything,  despite the readout showing x.xxx g because anything below .01 g usually reads as 0.000 g. It would be more accurate to say this is a 50 x 0.01 g scale. It just shows an extra digit that doesn't relate to actual weight.  I calibrated with the 50g calibration mass and it consistently reads that as 50.000 +/- 0.001 g which seems good... BUT if you then put 7 mg on it still reads 0.000 and if you put 10 mg on it reads around 19 mg, so that gives you some idea of the actual precision.

Question 2

Does anyone know how to set it for micrograms?

Accepted Answer

This scale does not measure down to micrograms, it measures down to milligrams.

The microgram (mcg or µg) is the unit of mass in the metric system (SI, International System of Units). 1 microgram (mcg or µg) = 0.000001 grams (g).

The milligram (mg) is the unit of mass in the metric system (SI, International System of Units). 1 milligram (mg) = 0.001 grams (g).

Question 3

What is the diameter of the actual circular part of the scale?

Accepted Answer

2" diameter

Question 4

If I am wanting a scale to weigh old gold jewelry would a 50g or 100g be better?

Accepted Answer

100 g because if you have more than 50 grams of gold, you’ll be stuck weighing it 50 grams at a time. As a 50 gram scale will only weigh 50 grams, no more than that. Say you have 83 grams of gold, you’d have to weigh the 50 grams, then the other 33 separately. Where as if you were to get the 100 gram scale you’d be able to with it up all at once. I have the 100 gram scale and I think it’s an excellent scale. I’ll buy it again if mine ever breaks.
