Best Answer

"Tare" weight. means the unloaded weight of whatever it is that you are weighing (e.g.: To weigh a truckload of stone you must first know the unloaded weight (tare weight) of the truck. Then, to find the weight of just the stone, subtract the tare weight of the truck from the total weight of the loaded truck. The difference will show you the weight of the stone).
