MECHANICAL SCALE

 

A mechanical scale is a device that measures weight and displays the amount in an analog format. The difference between a mechanical and a digital scale is the interface that displays the information and the fact that a digital scale requires a battery, whereas a mechanical one does not require any external power source to function. These kinds of scales are used for myriad purposes. In industry and science, digital scales are often used because they can display weight measurements down to very incremental amounts, but mechanical scales are still used in many practical ways in homes.

 

In the home, a mechanical scale is most likely found in either the kitchen or bathroom. A kitchen scale can be used in cooking to weigh ingredients, and it can be a useful tool for people who are closely measuring their diet and want to make sure to consume specific portions of food. One for the bathroom measures much larger weights: the weights of human beings. Both of these kinds of scales display weights using a dial.
