Abstract

Measurements may be made with a precision of tenths or hundredths of a microgram. Small weights suffer from an unfavorable surface-to-mass ratio and should be checked from time to time. This may be done by regular procedures used in weight calibration, provided a suitable selection of nominal weight values exist in each set.
