weighers

Those measuring mass

Weighers are people or devices that determine weight.

The term usually refers to workers whose job involves weighing goods—at markets, shipping facilities, or industrial plants: The weighers checked each crate before loading.

It can also mean weighing scales or instruments, though this use is less common than the job title.
