As an Amazon Influencer, I get to test a lot of specialized gear, but few things are as satisfying to use as a high-precision lab instrument. Recently, I’ve been putting the U.S. Solid Density Balance (310 g x 0.005 g) through its paces, and if you are a jeweler, a researcher, or a hobbyist working with precious metals, you’re going to want to see this.
One of the biggest headaches when buying a density scale is having to source the immersion kits separately. U.S. Solid solves that by including a comprehensive Density Kit right in the box. It’s designed to measure the density of solids, liquids, and specifically gold, with a resolution of 0.005 g/cm³.
The build quality is impressive. It feels like a piece of professional laboratory equipment rather than a flimsy tabletop scale. The windshield/draft shield is sturdy, which is essential because, at a 0.005g precision level, even a slight breeze can throw off your readings.
The 310g capacity is the "sweet spot" for most users. It’s large enough to handle most jewelry pieces and mineral samples, yet sensitive enough to catch minute differences in weight. Here are a few highlights from my testing:
If you’ve never used a density balance before, there is a slight learning curve to the setup. However, the instructions provided by U.S. Solid are clear, and once you have the platform and the hanging basket calibrated, it becomes second nature. I highly recommend taking the time to level the scale using the adjustable feet and the built-in bubble level before you start.
Whether you are trying to ensure the quality of your gold inventory or performing scientific density experiments, the U.S. Solid Density Balance is a workhorse. It bridges the gap between affordable consumer scales and high-end industrial equipment. It has earned a permanent spot on my workbench!
