Enter the upper and lower limits from the print and the gauge indicates pass or fail directly — an operator does not have to read a number and compare it to a tolerance, which is where hand inspection loses time and gains errors. The analog load bar graph alongside the digits shows how close to the limit a reading sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a Capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccuracy is a percentage of \u003cstrong\u003efull scale\u003c\/strong\u003e, so specify the smallest capacity that comfortably exceeds your largest expected force rather than the largest capacity available.
