The thing to do with your scales to be sure that they are accurate is to calibate them at somewhere near the weight you will have on them. I put some cinder blocks and me on our accurate digital scale at work then I put the same on my scales and adjusted them to read the same as the known good scale. That is much more accurate than just adjusting the scales to read zero then expecting them to be accurate at 250 pounds.
This assumes that you have access to an accurate scale for your calibration.

Well, I have the same concerns. However, I was told by the person who lent the chapter scales to me, that the DAR was accepting the W & B taken with those scales. I think that the important thing is to have a set of scales that will give close to the same reading given the same weight. That will tell you what the balance part is, if not the weight.
