ACCT KL8-A High-Precision Portable Balance Scale

For hobbyists, craftspeople, and professionals who demand uncompromising precision in small-scale weighing, ACCT introduces the KL8-A High-Precision Portable Balance Scale: a 50g-capacity device engineered with 0.001g readability, intuitive functionality, and a pocket-sized, durable design. Blending lab-grade accuracy with on-the-go convenience, it caters to tasks from gemstone crafting to culinary ingredient portioning, proving that meticulous measurements don’t require bulky equipment.

Description: Precision, Portability, and User-Centric Design

The ACCT KL8-A is a household and light-commercial balance scale built to deliver consistent, ultra-fine measurements. Its core specifications and features are optimized for both accuracy and ease of use:

Core Performance

With a maximum capacity of 50g and 0.001g readability (the smallest measurable increment), the KL8-A outperforms standard pocket scales (which typically offer 0.01g accuracy). This precision is enabled by a stainless steel weighing platform (corrosion-resistant and stable for tiny loads) paired with an impact-resistant ABS outer body, ensuring durability through daily use and transportation.

Integrated Tools & Functionality

The scale comes with a 20g calibration weight (included) to maintain long-term accuracy, plus a transparent protective cover (to shield the platform from dust, spills, and air currents—critical for 0.001g measurements). Its interface features a bright LED-backlit LCD display (readable in dim environments) and three intuitive buttons:

MODE: Switches between 6 measurement units (grams (g), ounces (oz), troy ounces (ozt), pennyweights (dwt), carats (ct), grains (gn)) to suit specialized tasks (e.g., carats for gemstones, troy ounces for precious metals).

ON/OFF: Powers the device and activates an auto-shutoff feature (to conserve battery life) after 60–90 seconds of inactivity.

TARE: Zeros out the weight of containers, trays, or tools placed on the platform, allowing users to measure only the net weight of contents.

Portability & Packaging

Measuring 10.7×4.6×2.5cm (4.2×1.8×1 inches) and weighing just 150g, the KL8-A fits easily in a pocket, tool kit, or travel bag. It includes a protective black zippered carry case and a wrist lanyard (to prevent drops during use). The scale runs on a replaceable button battery (included), with no external power source required.

Certified to CE and RoHS standards, the KL8-A meets international safety and environmental regulations, and it is backed by a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty.

Applications: Versatility Across Niche and Daily Tasks

The KL8-A’s 0.001g accuracy makes it indispensable for scenarios where even minor weight deviations impact quality, value, or consistency:

Jewelry & Gemstone Work: Weigh diamonds (e.g., 0.5ct = 0.1g), gold beads, or gemstone chips with pinpoint accuracy—critical for pricing, crafting, or verifying authenticity. The 20g calibration weight ensures the scale remains precise for high-value items.

Culinary & Herbal Preparation: Portion fine, high-cost ingredients (e.g., 0.3g saffron, 0.5g matcha powder) or herbal supplements (e.g., 0.2g turmeric) to ensure consistent flavor profiles or dosage. The TARE function simplifies measuring ingredients in bowls or spoons.

Hobby & Craft Projects: Measure tiny materials like 0.05g model paint pigments, 0.03g beading supplies, or resin additives, minimizing waste and ensuring detailed, uniform results.

Lab & Educational Use: Support basic science experiments by weighing 0.01g chemical powders or small biological specimens—ideal for high school labs or home science enthusiasts.

Coin & Collectible Verification: Check the weight of rare coins (e.g., 4.5g silver coins) to detect counterfeits, which often deviate by 0.01g or more. The multi-unit mode (dwt/ozt) simplifies valuation for precious metal collectibles.

Cosmetic & Skincare Formulation: Weigh small batches of essential oils, serums, or powder blends (e.g., 0.02g vitamin C powder) for homemade skincare products, ensuring recipe consistency.

Advantages: Why the KL8-A Stands Out

Against standard pocket scales and basic balances, the KL8-A offers four distinct strengths that cater to precision-focused users:

0.001g Ultra-Precision: Most portable scales max out at 0.01g accuracy, which is insufficient for high-value or sensitive tasks. The KL8-A delivers lab-grade 0.001g readability, ensuring even the smallest weight changes are detected.

Pocket-Sized Portability: At 150g and 4.2 inches long, it is lighter and more compact than most precision scales, making it ideal for traveling jewelers, mobile herbalists, or hobbyists who need to weigh items outside a fixed workspace.

Multi-Unit Flexibility: The 6 specialized measurement units eliminate manual conversions, streamlining workflows for niche industries (e.g., carats for gemologists, troy ounces for gold traders).

Durable & Low-Maintenance: The ABS + stainless steel construction resists wear and corrosion, while the included calibration weight and auto-shutoff feature simplify upkeep and extend battery life.

FAQ: Addressing User Needs

Q:How do I calibrate the KL8-A with the 20g weight?

A:Calibration ensures long-term accuracy: (1) Press ON/OFF to turn the scale on. (2) Press and hold MODE until “CAL” appears on the display. (3) Place the 20g calibration weight on the center of the platform. (4) The display will show “PASS” when calibration is complete. We recommend calibrating every 2–3 months or after moving the scale.

Q:Can the scale weigh items lighter than 0.001g?

A:No—0.001g is the KL8-A’s minimum measurable weight. Items lighter than this may not register or show fluctuating, inaccurate readings. For sub-milligram measurements, a professional analytical balance is required.

Q:Why is the transparent cover important?

A:Even slight air movement (e.g., a fan breeze or hand motion) can disrupt 0.001g measurements. The cover creates a stable, draft-free environment around the platform, ensuring consistent, reliable readings.

Q:How long does the battery last?

A:With regular use (10–15 weekly weigh-ins), the button battery lasts 3–4 months. The auto-shutoff feature extends battery life for infrequent use (up to 6–8 months).
