gram scale

Measures small weights

A gram scale is a small precision scale that measures weight in grams, typically used for weighing items too light for kitchen or bathroom scales.

Gram scales appear in jewelry making, scientific work, cooking, and postal applications.

They're also associated with drug dealing, where precise measurement of small quantities matters: The police found a gram scale and baggies in his apartment.
