Density Scale: Gunning Fertilizer Measurements in Lb/Cuft and Kg/Cu Dm

Density Scale: Gunning Fertilizer Measurements in Lb/Cuft and Kg/Cu Dm

The “Economy” Test Weight Scales are used to determine grain yield, bin capacities and feed and milling quality.

Made of molded plastic these are perfect for on-farm and in the field use.

• Net wt: 2 lbs,

• Ship wt: 3 lbs,

• Ship dims: 20” (L) x 9” (W) x 9” (H).

Knowing the volume of the sample or container is essential for accurate measurements with the scale.

Parts

• E26: Grain Test Weight Scale (lb/bu and kg/hl)

• E37: Fertilizer Density Scale (lb/cubic ft. and kg/cu dm)

Fertilizer Weighing & Density Measurement Solutions

Fertilizer weighing solutions are essential for farmers, agronomists, and outdoor professionals who need accurate fertilizer measurements to ensure proper application rates. Precise weighing helps reduce waste, improve soil health, support crop growth, and minimize environmental impact. Both manual and digital fertilizer density scales are available, allowing users to choose the best option for their operation. Proper scale placement and understanding bulk density are critical for consistent and reliable results.

Types & Applications

Fertilizer density scales are available in multiple formats to suit different needs:

• Manual Density Scales: Cost-effective and reliable for routine fertilizer density checks

• Digital Fertilizer Scales: High precision for large-scale agricultural operations

• Spreader & Integrated Scales: Designed for durability, accuracy, and software integration

These scales measure granular and liquid fertilizers and may also calculate specific gravity, helping ensure correct nutrient delivery and application rates.

Key Features

• Lightweight and portable for field, bin, or lab use

• Easy-to-read digital or analog displays

• Pre-set calibration options for different units (lb/cu ft, kg/cu dm)

• Stable balance design for accurate readings

• Durable construction for agricultural environments

Fertilizer Density Kit Use

Measuring fertilizer density is simple: weigh a known volume of fertilizer and calculate density using the net weight (after subtracting the tare weight of the container). Always follow manufacturer instructions for calibration and maintenance to avoid incorrect readings that could affect crop performance.

Calibration & Validation

Regular calibration and validation are essential for maintaining accuracy. Checking the scale with reference materials and across different products ensures consistent results. Professional calibration services are available through manufacturers or certified providers for added confidence.

User Guidance

For best results:

• Place the scale on a stable, level surface

• Use the correct container and avoid air gaps

• Allow the display to stabilize before recording results

• Clean the scale after each use

• Recalibrate if readings seem inconsistent

Summary

Fertilizer density and weighing scales provide accurate, repeatable measurements that support efficient fertilizer application, healthier crops, and reduced environmental impact. With proper calibration and use, these scales are a reliable solution for modern agricultural operations.
