Hello .

I'm looking for input about those tiny Batson Micro ...in size 2.5 and 2 .

The BMKLG #3
--> Weight = 0.060 gram ( 0.002116 oz)
--> Inner diameter =1.51mm (0.059448818897638 in )
--> Feet lenght =4.76mm (0.18740157480315 in)

The BMKLG #3.5
--> Weight = 0.074 gram ( 0.002610 oz)
--> Inner diameter = 1.97 mm (0.07755905511811 in )
--> Feet lenght = 4.27 mm (0.16811023622047 in)

I've done a search here , and i've found :
Batson BMKLG #2 = 0.028g
And five BMKLG # 2.5 = 0.1g ( That is contradictory and means that one BMKLG #2.5 = 0.02gram ... ! )


If you have few one , and an accurate scale , thank you :)

PS : I have a balance of a jeweler ( a cheap one / Accuracy : 30gramm/ 0.001gram ) and a digital caliper .

EDIT : I mean BMKLG , not BMKSG . Sorry for the confusion .

BMKSG or BMKLG?

Yes , you are right Chuck ! I mean the BMKLG .
Sorry .

Ah - just saw this again. I still have a bag of BMKLG-2. I will check them tonight and give the weight and measurements on the 2mm. I will weigh 10 and average it out.

Didier -

I measured 25 of the BMKLG-2 on my digital scale. They weigh 1.13g per 25, so that is .0452 grams each. This is a small digital scale.

The outer part of the frame is 2.88mm, the OD of the ceramic measures 2.21mm, and the ID of the ceramic is 1.26mm. The foot length is 3.5mm

Hope that helps

Hello Chuck.

Thanks , it's nice :)

I expected more light compared to what I had found . Ok i note it .

So the lightest is still , for me , the Fuji T-KTSG #3 with 0.0306g ( ) ( nine guide weighted )
And with an ID of the ceramic = 1.26mm ,BMKLG-2 is the second smallest .
The smallest is again the Fuji T-KTSG #3 with 1.07mm ID .

But BMKLG-2 is a much cheaper!
And if i need a little bigger ID , Fuji BMKOG#3.5 might be a choice because , weight = 0.044g , ID = 1.6mm and price in the same range .

Now i realise that with a such short feet (3.5mm) , the total weight is decreased even !! ( Fuji BMKOG#3.5 feet = 4.52mm)

Thank for your help :)
