I upgraded my dyno from a dial scale to an electronic one.
I did test the dial scale for accuracy with a known weight and it was good.
The issue with it is the pump pulsing making the needle jump a little making me try and guess just what the number might be.
With the new scale on, the the dyno is now very smooth and the scale number is on point.
Turns out I was right on with my guessing with only 2 of the scale numbers for each x1000 rpms being off by .1.
Also the dial scale is KG and it’s another set of numbers I would have to calculate to get Ft/Lbs.
New scale is pounds, kilograms and newtons.

What is your centerline distance ? From the pump rotation point to scale attachment point?
How long of a lever/arm are you using?
