Salter carpet feet
I've mislaid the carpet feet on my Salter 9028 bathroom scales which I
now need as I've carpeted the bathroom. Salter say they cant supply spare parts , so I need to find an alternative or make some. I cant remember what they look like ,and goggle images cant help Anyone got a picture ? Caster cups could be an alternative if I could find some with a small internal diameter 2.1cm I did read that its not obvious how they fit ( not Push ) anyone know? All help appreciated Parts |

Yes you just need to make sure the weight is all taken on the legs rather than on the baseplate. If this is not the case the reading can be low or high depending on the mechanism. I think New Scientist found that with mechanical types, bending of the baseplate is included in the calibration, but on carpet this is reduced giving higher readings due to the way the levers are connected. Digital scales often read lower on carpet - I guess strain guages connected to the legs in some way are feeling less force since the baseplate is partially supported. Simon. |

Is this a mechanical or electronic pair? Obviously in the latter the feet
act as the switch an thus it won't work on carpet unless the feet with the switch isdeeper than the pile.

Its called a sheet of stout plywood under the scales. Brian I am afraid that doesn't work. The gravitational force is still distributed between the elastic deformation of the carpet and of the transducer. Depending on their moduli. So the scale reads low. -- Roger Hayter |

I suggest you think of bathroom scales on top of bathroom scales; or on the deck of a boat. The problem with bathroom scales on carpet arises if the carpet touches the underside base of the scales. And can lead to the scales showing you weigh *more*. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

So the scale can never work if you use feet that cut through the carpet and underlay so the feet touch the floorboards beneath?
