weigh out
Dispense by mass
To weigh out is to measure a specific quantity by weight, typically removing portions until reaching the desired amount: The pharmacist weighed out thirty grams of the compound.
The phrase emphasizes precision and portioning, distinguishing it from simply weighing something to learn its weight.
