[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23717550, member: 43994"] You have to pay attention to meniscus then. Measuring by weight is just inherently less accurate because the laws of physics are a thing, but measuring accurately by volume is more difficult. weights of different materials are going to vary a bit by content, so there is always a bit of slop at the end, but the average person is more accurate with weight than with volume. The truly experienced, such as pro chemists, can be as accurate by volume as by weight. Or even more which is why they teach it in chemistry classes. It’s rare though. Im not that experienced. Measuring by weight works better for me and most other people who don’t do it regularly and know the tricks. At my level measuring by volume is so inaccurate it’s totally inadequate. You may be a chemist or something though. It’s a bit like parking backwards. Unless you do it at work you’ll never get to a point where it works even as well. Several times a day just isn’t several hundred times a day. [/QUOTE]
