Resolution

The mass value of the smallest scale or digital interval displayed

by the weighing machine. Sometimes marked on it as ‘d’.

Span

The mass value of the difference between the greatest and least

load for which continuous mass values will be displayed with the

same resolution.

Sensitivity

The number of divisions change in reading per
