Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs – Frequently asked questions about gold scales 13

A gold scale is a highly precise precision balance specifically designed for weighing jewelry, precious metals, gemstones and small parts in the low gram or milligram range. It is used in jewelry stores, gold buying offices, goldsmith workshops and laboratories to determine the weight and value of jewelry pieces and alloys with precision.

Compared to a conventional precision balance, a gold scale often offers additional units such as carat (ct) or precious metal weight units (e.g. dwt, ozt) and is tailored to the typical weighing ranges used in the jewelry trade. Many models also feature special functions such as piece counting, density determination or summing functions for precious metal alloys and jewelry series.

As soon as you buy or sell precious metals, jewelry or coins by weight, a calibrated scale is generally required. For internal checks, laboratory purposes or pure testing applications, a non-calibrated gold scale may be sufficient. If you are unsure whether legal verification is required for your application, we will be happy to advise you individually.

The required accuracy depends on your application. For traditional jewelry trading, readability levels of 0.01 g to 0.001 g are commonly used, while even finer resolutions are often useful for very small samples or gemstones. It is important that the weighing range, resolution and stability of the scale match your typical samples and workflows.

To ensure permanently precise measurement results, a gold scale should be placed on a stable, vibration-free surface and kept away from drafts. Regular cleaning, avoiding overloads and protection from dust and moisture will extend its service life. In addition, we recommend regular calibrations – either with suitable test weights or through our professional scale service – to ensure long-term accuracy.

No. A small number of decimal places on its own does not necessarily mean that a set of scales is truly suitable for everyday use. What is always important is the overall package comprising the weighing range, minimum load, calibration value, accuracy class, stability and the actual environmental conditions. A scale may therefore display readings with a high degree of precision and yet still be unsuitable for professional gold purchasing if other key specifications do not match the intended application.

Even slight air movements can affect the measurement result on sensitive scales. This is particularly noticeable with light samples, small gemstones or delicate gold items. A draught shield reduces these disturbances, stabilises the display and often ensures that the reading stabilises more quickly, allowing it to be read clearly and accurately.

In many applications, the units of greatest relevance are grams, carats (for gemstones) and the troy ounce. Which units are actually required depends on the products being weighed and how operational processes are organised. Having a large number of units is not automatically an advantage. What matters is that the units that are actually required can be used reliably and unambiguously. In commercial and official transactions within the EU, grams and kilograms are the primary units of measurement. Carats, where 1 ct = 0.2 g, are also permitted. The troy ounce is often displayed only as a supplementary unit in trade; for the actual billing, the metric measurement is usually the decisive factor.

It is not strictly mandatory. However, it is often very helpful in day-to-day use, as it allows the scales to adapt more quickly to changing conditions, for example in the event of temperature fluctuations or following frequent changes of location. It is important to note, however, that an internal adjustment is no substitute for calibration or for a professional assessment of whether the scales are suitable for their intended use.

Precision scales must be set up so that they are perfectly level. If the scale is not properly levelled, the measurement result may be distorted for physical reasons. This is precisely what the spirit level – the scales’ built-in spirit level – is for. Before using the scales for the first time and after moving them, you should check that the air bubble is centred. Only then will the scales operate under the intended conditions.

With this method, a test specimen is not only measured on the weighing pan, but is also suspended beneath the balance and weighed in different media, typically in air and in water. The density of the material can be derived from the difference between the measured values. This is of particular interest in the precious metals sector because gold has a characteristically high density. Deviations may indicate the presence of foreign material, cavities or a possible suspicion of counterfeiting. The method is useful, but does not replace comprehensive material testing.

A balance is an important tool for this purpose, but is generally not sufficient on its own as a means of testing. It helps with weight checks and – depending on its specifications – can also assist with determining density. High-quality counterfeits cannot usually be identified beyond doubt using a balance alone. In practice, therefore, the gold balance forms part of a wider testing process.

The key factor is where and how the balance is used. In laboratories and research settings, laboratory and analytical balances with particularly high resolution are used. In the precious metals trade, outside of open sales areas – for example, in internal testing or office areas – precision balances with min = 0.5 g, d = 0.01 g and e = 0.1 g. In open sales outlets, stricter requirements apply: the display must be fully visible from both sides, and e must equal d.
