What is taring?

Taring is the process of measuring the weight of a substance, typically involving a container. The purpose of taring is to subtract the weight of the container from the total weight of the substance and container. This allows for a more accurate measurement of the substance's weight, as the weight of the container does not affect the measurement. Taring is commonly used in scientific experiments, cooking, and packaging industries. It can be done manually using a balance or digitally using electronic scales.
