The PCE-DMS 200 is a quadrant scale for paper basis weight used to accurately determine the basis weight (in relation to a square meter of material) of paper, cardboard, fabric, textiles and more directly in g, g/m², oz or oz/yd². Weighing units can be changed with just the push of a button.

The paper basis weight scale is used primarily by paper and textile production companies. The paper and textile industries perform similar quality control testing by weighing a 11 cm or less round circular sample of paper or fabric. The paper basis weight scale makes this test process quick and easy, especially when using the optional 11 cm circle sample cutter accessory (see accessories tab for details).
