Basic scales

Within our basic scales can be found all types of scales for use in the kitchen. Basic scales come with many advantages including their ease of use and that they have a tare function making it easy to put together ingredients for recipes. There are five different series of basic scales available. They can be powered by batteries or by connecting to the mains, they have a weight range of up to 150kg, and a resolution of between 0.01 and 50g. Some models have an optional software kit available which allows for data transfers to computers. Apart from being used in the kitchen, these scales can be used in sport, for example, the PCE-TS 150 series are capable of weighing athletes competing in competitions.
