Is 100 lbs less then I calculated. Can be becauae of inacuract of scale, 100 lbs on these weights is not much. Even a calibrated scale is allowed one measure step different , in Europe mostly 20 kg= 44lbs.
Can give 30kg=66lbs difference in measurement, because weights in between are rounded.
Maybe they do math differently there but 100 lbs variance from a 1,000 lb. load is 10% So if the scale is 10% off in one direction means a 20% spread (+/- 10%). That's unacceptable for a "calibrated scale" in my book.
