On Balance MTT-200 Mini Benchtop Scale
The MTT-200 is the most popular model in On Balance’s MTT series. With a capacity of 200 grams and an accuracy of 0.01 grams, this scale offers a good balance between range and precision. The tabletop design, featuring a raised stainless steel platform and an angled, backlit LCD display, ensures comfortable reading without having to bend over the scale.
Measuring just 11 x 7.5 x 2.2 cm, the MTT-200 is compact enough to carry with you, while the raised design and larger platform (6.8 x 6.8 cm) offer more stability and ease of use than a standard pocket scale. The removable lid protects the weighing platform during transport and serves as a weighing tray during use.

Use and calibration
The MTT-200 can be calibrated using a 200-gram weight or two 100-gram weights (sold separately). Regular calibration maintains measurement accuracy. Place the scale on a flat, stable surface for the most reliable results.
The tare function subtracts the weight of the lid or an external container, so that only the contents are measured. Use the mode button to switch between the four weight units: grams, ounces, grains, and pennyweights.
Where does the MTT-200 fit in the product line?
On Balance’s MTT series consists of three models with increasing precision. The MTT-500 (500 x 0.1 g) offers the widest range for those weighing larger quantities. The MTT-200 (200 x 0.01 g) is the all-rounder with a good combination of capacity and accuracy. The MTT-100 (100 x 0.005 g) delivers half-milligram precision for applications where 0.01 grams is not sufficient. All three models share the same compact benchtop design with a raised platform and removable lid. View the complete selection in the scales category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MTT-200 suitable for?
The MTT-200 is a versatile precision scale for weighing herbs, supplements, jewelry, precious metals, and other materials up to 200 grams. The accuracy of 0.01 grams is sufficient for most weighing needs where standard kitchen scales are not precise enough.
Is a calibration weight included?
No, the MTT-200 does not come with a calibration weight. You can calibrate the scale using a single 200-gram weight or two 100-gram weights. Calibration weights are available separately in our headshop.
What is the difference from a regular pocket scale?
The MTT-200 features a tabletop design with a raised platform and an angled display. This makes reading the display more comfortable than with flat pocket scales. In addition, the stainless steel platform (6.8 x 6.8 cm) offers more workspace than most pocket models.
How long do the batteries last?
The two AAA batteries last for several months with normal use thanks to the automatic shut-off feature. Replacement AAA batteries are widely available.
