Scale Dipse 2000 — Weigh Up to 2kg with 0.1g Precision
The Scale Dipse 2000 is a digital weighing scale that handles anything from 0.1g right up to 2,000g — making it one of the most versatile bench scales you can keep in a drawer. Five weighing modes (grams, grains, carats, ounces, and unit counting), auto-calibration, and a tare function come standard. It runs on two AAA batteries (included in the box) or a 5V DC adapter, so you can use it at a desk or take it wherever you need it.
Why the Dipse 2000 Digital Scale Belongs on Your Worktop
A 0.1g resolution across a full 2kg range is the sweet spot for anyone who needs to weigh both small quantities and larger batches without swapping between two different scales. Loose herbs, powdered botanicals, gemstones, cooking ingredients, postal parcels — the Dipse 2000 handles them all on one platform.
We've sold pocket scales for years, and the most common complaint we hear is capacity. A typical pocket scale tops out at 100g or 200g, which is fine for small amounts but useless the moment you need to weigh out 500g of dried herb or portion a kilogram of anything. The Dipse 2000 solves that without sacrificing the 0.1g accuracy you actually need. At 382g and just 27mm tall, it's still compact enough to slide into a cupboard when you're done.
The honest limitation: 0.1g precision is excellent for this capacity class, but if you're measuring substances where milligram accuracy matters — say, individual portions under 1g — you'll want a milligram scale with 0.001g resolution instead. The Dipse 2000 is built for volume work with good accuracy, not ultra-fine microgram precision. Know what you need and pick accordingly.

Five Weighing Modes — More Than Just Grams
The Dipse 2000 digital scale lets you toggle between five units without converting anything in your head. Grams and ounces cover most daily use. Grain and carat modes are genuinely useful if you work with loose gemstones, reloading components, or precious metals. The unit counting mode is a time-saver — drop a known quantity on the platform, tell the scale how many pieces that is, and it'll count the rest of your batch by weight. Handy for capsules, beads, seeds, or small hardware.
Switching modes takes a single button press. No menus, no holding three buttons at once. The display is backlit and easy to read, and the entire interface runs through two buttons — on/off and mode/tare. That's it. If you've ever wrestled with a scale that has six unlabelled buttons and a manual written in four languages, you'll appreciate the simplicity.
Complete your setup: pair the Dipse 2000 with a set of calibration test weights from Dipse to verify accuracy over time — especially useful if you're weighing for precision work. If you need finer resolution for very small quantities, check out the On Balance Myco scales, which read down to 0.01g on a smaller capacity.
How to Use the Dipse 2000 Digital Scale
- Insert the two included AAA batteries into the compartment on the underside, or connect a 5V DC adapter.
- Place the scale on a flat, stable surface — not on carpet, not on a wobbly table. Vibrations and uneven surfaces throw off readings at 0.1g precision.
- Press the power button. The scale runs its auto-calibration on startup. Wait for the display to read 0.0g before placing anything on the platform.
- If you're using a bowl, cup, or container, place it on the scale first and press the tare button. The display resets to 0.0g, so you only measure the contents.
- Add your material. The reading stabilises within a second or two. For the most accurate result, avoid touching the scale or the surface it sits on while it's reading.
- To switch units, press the mode button. The display cycles through g, gn, ct, oz, and counting mode.
- For unit counting: place a known number of identical items on the platform, select counting mode, and input the reference quantity. The scale calculates the per-unit weight and counts from there.
- Power off when finished. The scale also has an auto-off function to save battery life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Dipse 2000 scale?
It reads in increments of 0.1g across the full 0–2,000g range. Auto-calibration on startup keeps it consistent. For best accuracy, use it on a hard, level surface and let it settle before reading.
Can I use the Dipse 2000 for weighing herbs and botanicals?
Yes — the 2kg capacity and 0.1g resolution make it well-suited for weighing dried herbs, loose-leaf teas, and powdered botanicals. Use the tare function with a bowl to keep things tidy.
Does the Dipse 2000 need manual calibration?
No. It calibrates itself automatically each time you switch it on. If you want to verify accuracy over time, you can use a calibration test weight, but day-to-day it handles itself.
What batteries does the Dipse 2000 use?
Two AAA batteries, which are included in the box. You can also run it from a 5V DC adapter if you prefer mains power — useful for longer weighing sessions.
What does the unit counting mode do?
It counts identical small items by weight. You place a known number of pieces on the platform as a reference, and the scale calculates how many are in a larger batch. Great for capsules, beads, seeds, or small components.
Is 0.1g precision enough, or do I need a milligram scale?
For most weighing tasks — herbs, cooking, postal, jewellery — 0.1g is more than sufficient. If you're measuring individual doses under 1g where every milligram counts, go with a 0.001g milligram scale instead. Different tools for different jobs.
How big is the weighing platform?
The scale measures 160 x 135mm overall, giving you a platform large enough to hold a standard mixing bowl or weighing tray without overhang. It's 27mm tall and weighs 382g — flat and stable.
