比例精度与精度:数字的真正含义
规模规格可能会令人困惑。 “0.1g 准确度”的实际含义是什么? “可读性”与“准确性”相同吗? 本指南以纯语言解释比例规格,以便您可以选择正确的比例并了解您的阅读内容真正告诉您的内容。
快速回答
准确性是接近真实权重的程度;精度是多么一致。 0.1g 的比例可以检测到 0.1g(十分之一克)的差异。 对于花,0.1g 工作正常。 对于浓缩物,您需要 0.01g 或 0.001g,可读性 = 显示最小增量。 准确度 = 实际测量可靠性。 它们是相关的,但不相同。
了解规模规格
For statistical concepts in measurement accuracy, NIST 工程统计手册 provides technical guidance.
可读性(分辨率)
它是什么: The smallest weight increment the scale displays.
Example:
- 0.1g 可读性显示:1.0、1.1、1.2 等。
- 0.01g 可读性显示:1.00、1.01、1.02 等。
- 0.001G 可读性显示:1.000、1.001、1.002 等。
Key point: This is what you SEE, not necessarily what's TRUE.
Accuracy
它是什么: How close to the actual weight the reading is.
Example:
实际重量为3.48g或3.52g时,标尺可能显示3.5g,准确度告诉你预期的偏差。
常见的精度规格:
- “±0.1g”表示读数最多可关闭 0.1g
- 3.5g的读数实际上可能是3.4g到3.6g
精度(可重复性)
它是什么: How consistently the scale gives the same reading for the same item.
精度好: Weigh same item 5 times, get 3.50g each time.
精度差: Weigh same item 5 times, get 3.48g, 3.52g, 3.49g, 3.51g, 3.50g.
关系
不同的精度在实践中意味着什么
0.1g 精度(口袋秤)
您可以可靠地衡量的内容:
- 1g 及以上充满信心
- 0.5g 精度合理

- 验证八分之一、四分之一、盎司
- 一般花称重
- 日常使用
不适合:
- 单半克购买
- 浓缩
- 精度计量
阅读解读:
当规模显示3.5g时,实际重量可能为3.4-3.6g。
0.01g 精度(精密口袋秤)
您可以可靠地衡量的内容:
- 0.1g 及更高的信心
- 0.05g 精度合理
- 适合少量
Best for:
- 验证较小的采购
- 更准确的花称重
- 预算浓缩物称重
- 更好的食用剂量
阅读解读:
当秤显示3.50g时,实际重量可能为3.48-3.52g。
0.001g 精度(毫克级)
您可以可靠地衡量的内容:
- 0.01g 及更高的信心
- 0.005g 精度合理
- 极致精度
Best for:
- 浓缩
- 精确的食用制作
- 科学准确性
- 专业用途
阅读解读:
当量表显示3.500g时,实际重量可能为3.498-3.502g。
精度与精度图示
两者都很好(理想)
读数:3.50、3.50、3.50、3.50、3.50
真实重量:3.50g
Result: Perfect—accurate and precise.
精确但不准确
读数:3.55、3.55、3.55、3.55、3.55
真实重量:3.50g
Result: Consistently wrong. Needs calibration.
准确但不准确
读数:3.48、3.52、3.49、3.51、3.50
真实重量:3.50g
Result: Averages correct but individual readings vary. Environmental issue likely.
两者都没有(差的规模)
读数:3.45、3.58、3.42、3.61、3.49
真实重量:3.50g
Result: Unreliable. Replace or repair scale.
与目的匹配的准确性
大麻花
底线: 0.1g works for most flower purposes. 0.01g is better for small amounts.
For Concentrates
Bottom line: 0.001g is really the only appropriate accuracy for concentrates.
For Edibles
Understanding Margin of Error
What ± Means
When specs say "±0.1g":
- Reading of 5.0g means actual could be 4.9-5.1g
- Reading of 3.5g means actual could be 3.4-3.6g
Error Compounds with Small Weights
At larger weights:
5.0g ± 0.1g = 2% potential error
At smaller weights:
0.5g ± 0.1g = 20% potential error
Lesson: Accuracy matters more for smaller amounts.
Why Cheap Scales Are Worse
Better scales:
- Tighter actual accuracy than spec
- More consistent
- Better at edges of range
Cheap scales:
- May not meet stated spec
- Worse at small weights
- More environmental sensitivity
Testing Your Scale's Accuracy
Using Known Weights
Calibration weights (best):
- Known precise weight
- Use to verify and calibrate
Coins (adequate):
- US nickel = 5.00g
- US penny (post-1982) = 2.50g
- Stack for larger weights
Precision Test
1. Weigh same item 5 times
2. Record each reading
3. All same = good precision
4. Variation = precision issue
Accuracy Test
1. Weigh known weight (calibration weight or coins)
2. Compare to known value
3. Close = good accuracy
4. Off = needs calibration or replacement
Improving Your Readings
Environmental Factors
For best accuracy:
- Level, stable surface
- Away from air currents
- Consistent temperature
- No vibrations
Usage Factors
For best accuracy:
- Calibrate regularly
- Fresh batteries
- Let scale warm up
- Don't rush readings
Scale Factors
For best accuracy:
- Quality brand
- Appropriate accuracy for task
- Proper maintenance
- Not exceeding capacity
Quick Reference
Accuracy by Scale Type
When Readings Matter Most
- Verifying purchases: Need accuracy
- Consistent dosing: Need precision
- Making edibles: Need both
- Casual use: Either works
Summary
Understanding scale specs helps you:
1. Choose right accuracy for your needs
2. Interpret readings correctly
3. Identify problems when they occur
4. Not overpay for unnecessary precision
For most cannabis flower use, 0.1g accuracy is sufficient. For concentrates or precision work, 0.001g is essential. Don't be fooled by extra decimal places—readability isn't the same as accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
准确度是量表读取的真实权重的距离。 精确度是它给出相同读数的一致性。 一个尺度可以是精确但不准确的(一致错误),也可以是准确但不精确的(不同但平均值是正确的)。 好的规模两者都是。
