definizione di lettura

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Other
Here's the title of the paragraph:
Peso specifico dello smalto a umido
...and here is some context:
"Questa prova viene effettuata con l’ausilio di un cilindretto di capacità pari a 100 cm3. Dopo aver omogeneamente agitato lo smalto, in modo da evitarne la decantazione, si riempie fino all’orlo detto cilindretto. Esso viene quindi pesato, effettuando la misura su una bilancia digitale, avente la definizione di lettura di 0,1 g;"

you can very well do away with "definizione" (in my opinion) and can render the term/phrase as .. "having the reading at/equal to 0.1g"
