On one hand we call Roman tool, which operates technically, is of great antiquity. Among the functions it has fulfilled this tool are, among others, the weighing goods for sale. Also the case of the scale. It arose in response to the difficulty of Roman tool. That is, everything that could not be weighed in this it was possible to be weighed on the scale, mostly because it has a single storey platform which is what makes the weighing process is much easier to carry out. The ability to support large scale weights is what has to be weighed, even large trucks on it. As for the topic at hand, the third option that we can find to measure the weight of the mass is the scale. It is most often used in a land where the weight is directly linked to the mass. Opposes the scale on that as that is used to weigh large-scale mass, in this case just the opposite.

Usually they are placed on very small mass, usually a few kilos. Regarding its use, it is not only restricted to the home. We feel his presence in laboratories (precisely because what weight is of lesser magnitude, the scale would not be so necessary in this case) in numerous industries and companies that want to determine the weight of their products. Therefore, not only weigh a given object but also – as in laboratories, for example – many substances of various kinds. Imagine now costs only one type of tool for measuring the weight because there are now advanced electronic models show great precision and speed in its task of measuring the product or substance . The truth is that in ancient times used those mechanically operated with a slow significantly higher than today. One of the first mechanisms used was the one that had two equal arms, also called parallel arms. This model had its moment of greatest use to the Egyptians and is believed to date from more than 2,000 years before Christ. This symmetrical arms system works as follows. There was a bar on the device should be in a perfect counterbalance.

Of the bar fell off two plates, one from each end. In turn, the bar should be supported by a support that had to be the smallest possible. However, as the process of measuring the mass , it should proceed as follows. First, it was appropriate to place the product I wanted to be heavy in one of the dishes, which we will call A dish or plate number one. Once done, the plate B and plate number were gradually putting weight, which also had to have a fixed and known weight. To determine if the balance had reached its highest point of balance, had noted that the bar was in a horizontal position. Once you have reached this balance, the harmony between the two arms, between the two plates, that was the time when an estimated weight of the product or substance, the so-called weight control.

Weighing objects
Throughout history it has been necessary to weigh objects to determine their value or the cost of transport. Each civilization has used different measurement standards, and now the kilogram is the base according to the International System of Units.

The old analog scales have been replaced by sophisticated electronic devices that can provide a digital measurement of weight immediately.

These scales are used both in the home through the bathroom scale, as in the work with precision industrial scales that are capable of measuring up to tons.

Bathroom or kitchen scales digital

Throughout the history of mankind weight has always been an important factor in society, we are not talking only human just weight but also the weight of objects.

The scale or balance was important in ancient times to determine the price of things like food and tools were sold at the time, from this time reflects the importance of scale to the development of some human activities such as mercantilism.

The weighing scale or older has its beginnings in the year 5000 BC, where the first signs of weight measurement were made by the Babylonians and Egyptians. These rustic scales were so efficient that the error was only 2 percent, experts said today.

This useful tool begins its development better known in ancient Rome, where the invention of the balance by charging merchants for the products was the main development to what they are today. Read the rest of this entry »

Weighing is a distressing and painful experience for those who are overweight. Scale up the nerve and find that they have not achieved desired suffer great frustration and anger. His greatest desire becomes his worst tormentor.
Unfortunately the medical community wrongly insisted for years to take into account the scale and try to reduce weight, if this makes no sense.

The scale also has a black background in the murky history of obesity treatments. Millions around the world have been punished (and still do) for the results obtained in the scale. Pay little attention to their weight and more interest to the circumference of your body.

The biggest drawback there is that the scale has low specificity.
Specificity is a term frequently used in medicine and its meaning is the following: the ability of a study to accurately define or diagnose any disease.

For example, the thermometer is not very specific. We can not tell if someone has a fever because you are infected, recently presented a cerebral hemorrhage, have developed some form of cancer, or is an allergic reaction.
The weight is changed for many reasons that have nothing to do with reducing or increasing body fat. I will present some examples to explain this situation:
EXAMPLE 1: A distraught woman decides to be weighed daily to know exactly when to start getting fat. Finds, with surprise, that despite care in an exaggerated way, you gain weight in their menstrual cycle. Decided wrongly punished are getting fatter and even more your diet, when the real cause of the increase is menstruation.

EXAMPLE 2: A couple decides to vacation in a warm place and notes that after two days increases by two pounds. Start a diet full reduction in rental, even though her clothes still remains the same. She does not know that any increase in temperature favors accumulation of water with no weight gain and increased body fat.

Example 3: A young man decides to take care of yourself with exercise and was disappointed to realize that instead of losing weight is rising. In nothing is the explanation of the coach who says the increase is due to increased muscle and even though your clothes fit looser, decided to suspend the exercise not to continue gaining weight.

EXAMPLE 4: A young woman goes to a party, where you take two glasses of alcoholic beverages. Notes horrified that after 48 hours up to two kilos of weight and decided to go on a diet to eliminate what has risen. She does not know that alcohol consumption favors temporary retention of fluids and do not increase body fat.

Example 5: A woman decides to go with the fashionable doctor to lose weight and out of the office with a bag full of pills, drops and powders. From day one note to be run to the bathroom every half hour and the scale clearly shows he has lost 4 or 5 pounds. Ignored their urgent needs to go to the bathroom and continued with his treatment, without realizing it, or worse, deceiving themselves into believing that weight loss is fat reduction, not elimination of water caused by a diuretic.

Example 6: A man accustomed yourself with diets lower in sugars. On one occasion, making a dessert and the next day is increased by two pounds. Incorrectly concluded (despite his clothes being remains the same) to 100 grams of cake have become two kilograms of fat. He does not know that diets low in sugar content so dehydrated that taking one and recovered 2 kg of sugar water and not body fat.
The scale does not precisely define the increase or decrease body fat. Worse, does not determine how much excess we have. Get on the scale to weigh fat, muscle, water, bone and viscera. We can not know how much of our weight for each one of them.
Excess fat is more precisely define the measuring tape to measure the abdomen and hip circumferences.
The martyrdom led to weigh not only unnecessary, it is also unrealistic to think that the scale can tell us how much we have lost or retain fat diets.

If an individual muscle up as fat can be removed to gain weight and should not be interpreted as poor performance or increased obesity. If weight loss may be due to muscle and not fat.

Losing weight often means that there is a disease.
Torture, sadness, anxiety or possibly happiness we experience the ever pesarnos is related to the fat in your body.
Is it worth it weigh? If done correctly, can serve as one of many indicators to clarify the changes generated by the diets.
body through which the medicine is called anthropometry. This is a contrived word for a relatively simple measurement of body with tape. If at some point in their life has gone to a tailor to fix an item you already know the anthropometry.
Anyone with a genuine interest in reducing excess fat (and not only be deceiving you want to) must learn to measure their circumferences of the body.

The scales employed in industry take many forms depending on the object to be weighed. Thus the scales can be a platform, hanging scale style, U, or adapt many other forms.

These devices can be used to weigh all kinds of objects, animals, people, vehicles, food, drugs, jewelry, finding plenty of specific models for each function.

In each case we will need different accuracies, so that when a food despite such precision is less important than the jewelry though. The absolute accuracy depends on the weight, so ask for much more precise the higher the price of the scale.

Throughout history it has been necessary to identify objects despite their value or the cost of transport. Each civilization has used different measurement standards, and now the kilogram is the base according to the International System of Units.

The old analog scales have been replaced by sophisticated electronic devices that can provide a digital measurement of weight immediately.

These scales are used in the home through the bathroom scale, as in the work with precision industrial scales that can measure up to tons.
