Scales

Today, many people tend to maintain their normal weight. Just try to change this parameter allows scales, which may be mechanical or electronic. On the advantages and disadvantages of these models describe our article.

Mechanical scales - the advantages and disadvantages

The operating principle of the mechanical floor scale is based on a special spring, located under the platform. Becoming a platform, we provide the pressure on the spring, which is connected with an arrow, which, moving on the scale indicates the weight. The average error of mechanical scales ranges from 0.5-1 kg. The advantages of mechanical floor scales are:

- Low cost;
- Ease of use;
- Durability;
- The ability to weigh the b? Lshy compared with electronic models of weight;
- Lack of power.

The disadvantages are:

- The inability to keep track of weight changes in the automatic mode;
- Low accuracy;
- Lack of control of the ratio of muscle and adipose tissue.

Electronic scales - the advantages and disadvantages

Electronic scales are similar in operating principle, but in the spring acts as a sensor made of an elastic material. It is associated with the element that transforms the data into an electronic signal (these readings will eventually appear on the screen). In the expensive models, provided the memory, which stores the results of the weighings. The most modern and expensive models are equipped with special sensors and compact computer. On the basis of sensor data transmitted computer gives the user information about the ratio of fat, muscle and bone tissue. The average error of electronic scales of 100-300, the

The advantages of electronic floor scales are:

- Accuracy of measurements;
- A wide range of data;
- Modern design.

The disadvantages are:

- Risk of damage to electronics;
- Relatively low weight bracket;
- Binding to a power supply;
- High cost models.

The right choice

As the above data you yourself can judge whether to purchase a particular model - it all depends on personal needs and financial capabilities. Experts also recommend you to acquire cutting-edge balance only if there is an urgent need to control many aspects of his body, but in other cases you can use the models in an affordable price range.
