As everyone know, weighing scales are used to determine the weight of an object, but do you notice that weighing scales can use for counting applications such as papers and coins, determine purity of precious metals, identify gold karat, measure density, measure volume, calculate Basal Metabolism Rate(BMR), calculate body fat and so on. It used for many applications and purposes. Below are several sample of powerful weighing scales and it usage.

a) One with the piece in a water tank
b) The other normally.
An internal computer does all the calculations for you. It can distinguish the real precious metal from the fake material. No acid, needles, or test stones needed.
