weight (e.g. a towel or a support on the weighing plat-
form) from affecting the weighing result.

Incorrect measurement due to force shunts
If an extra weight, e.g. a large towel, contacts
the surface on which the scale is placed, weight
will not be measured correctly.

on the scale's weighing surface.
