A Roofing Felt Bulk-Order Weighing Record
A weighing record should make the number interpretable. State the item, the scale, the mass basis and the sampled rolls before comparing results with an order.

Agree the basis and sampling approach
Specify whether the result includes the wrapper, core and cloth-covered ends. Identify which rolls are checked and how they were selected.
A gross packed roll and an unpacked sheet are not directly comparable. The order should make its mass basis clear.
Record the equipment and conditions
Use an appropriate scale and record its identification and the verification information available. Follow the agreed weighing procedure.
Do not claim an inspection meets a named statistical standard unless the sampling and acceptance plan actually does so.
Keep individual observations
Record each sampled result, the item identity and any notable conditions. Averages can help summarise, but should not conceal individual readings or a changed measurement basis.
Merily’s real scale-check photographs illustrate product weighing. An image from one occasion is not the measurement record for every future order.

Questions buyers ask
Can I compare packed weight with net material weight?
Only after reconciling the components. Otherwise the comparison is misleading.
Is one scale photo enough for a bulk inspection?
It can support a reading, but the order’s agreed sampling and acceptance requirements still apply.
Should results be rounded?
Use a consistent precision suitable for the equipment and agreement; do not hide meaningful differences through rounding.
