| Decision Factor | Why It Matters | Common Options |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Determines the maximum load the scale can safely measure. | 15 lb, 30 lb, 60 lb, 150 lb and higher |
| Readability | Defines the smallest weight increment displayed. | 0.001 lb, 0.01 lb, 0.1 oz and application-specific increments |
| NTEP Certification | May be required when weight determines the customer’s price. | Legal-for-trade and non-legal-for-trade models |
| Platform Size | The item must fit securely without interfering with the display. | Compact countertop, bench, platform and floor scales |
| Connectivity | Determines how weight data reaches the POS or software. | USB, serial, Ethernet and Bluetooth |
| Environment | Moisture, dust, cold and impacts affect enclosure requirements. | Standard, stainless, washdown and rugged designs |
| Power | Portable and mobile workflows may require battery operation. | AC adapter, rechargeable battery or replaceable batteries |
| Calibration | Regular verification supports accuracy and compliance. | External weights, service calibration and local inspection |
