    That’s why I keep a roll of 20 AWG nichrome on hand. Spool off 9.7195853528209 feet and it’ll be bang on.

      So 1 inch of your wire would weigh ~0.0987 grams, so to measure down to 8.6350242338508 inches of wire your scale would need to weigh down to ~0.00000000000007 grams. Which is the weight of about a dozen atoms or so.

        Yeah which is why you use a Kibble balance. Are you sure you’re cut out for this kind of work?
