Egg scales are used to separate eggs into predetermined grade levels for consumers. The weight and size of the eggs determine whether they are deemed medium, grade A large, or X-large. An egg scale is a useful item as it is light, and it can be transported from market to market.

Are egg scales used for all birds or just chickens?

Many people are familiar with chicken eggs. The scales are often designed specifically to meet this market. These devices are designed so that you can separate the eggs into different grades.

Does the type of scale used change the grading?

There are various units available in a wide array of styles and designs, but the grading requirements are consistent. Several styles indicate the grade level near the indicator so you can sort the eggs. If this model lacks this indicator, the following information may help you to sort and grade the items:

  • Small: 18 ounces
  • Medium: 21 ounces
  • Large: 24 ounces
  • X-Large: 27 ounces
  • Jumbo: 30 ounces

Is it possible to swap weights between different egg scales?

These particular units are designed to work with a specific model. They are shaped or molded to fit in the designated area for accurate distribution. While the parts from another scale may seem appropriate, they may not rest in the slots accurately or distribute the weight evenly across another model. This may result in an inaccurate reading that will change the results.

How do you know if the egg scale weighs accurately?

Test the unit for accuracy by weighing a known object. If the results match the item being weighed, use the USDA Grade chart to determine the grading of the eggs. If there are discrepancies, the scale will need servicing or replacing to ensure reliable results.
