On a balance weigh and tare the filter unit
On a balance weigh and tare the filter unit
It means
Zero the balance
Place filter unit on the balance and weight it
Then press the tare function on the balance until zero is obtained (to counterbalance the weight)
Your text does not say about the next step - which is placing the stuff in the filter unit and reading the weight
One can actually do calculation manually, that is record the weight of the filter unit before you add stuff in it
