warm strain gauges makes sense.
general relativity on the other hand…

I’m using an ohaus scout that measures down to .1 gram. If I pour about 50g of hot.distillate into a mason jar by the time it cools to.room temp it.will only be like 48 grams

Try insulating the metal pan from the heat of the jar and see if the same thing happens. Unless maybe there is some volatile compound evaporating off, but that would seem unlikely.

I’ll try that next time thanks

Sooo…hot strain gauge? Or?!?
Dont ohaus scales use resistance between two non touching metal plates to read weight. Does heat have an effect on conductivity?
A quick search says yes. Maybe from what people are reporting about insulation fixing it points to that being a potential cause. A hot disty jar is heating the area around where the digital scale magic happens.
