  1. How to Calibrate Weighing Scale

  2. Weighing scales are a part of diverse industrial functions. Industrial weighing scales are repeatedly subjected to heavy loading and unloading.  • So, even if you own the most advanced professional-grade weighing scale, regular maintenance and calibration will still be needed to improve scale’s reliability for weight measurement. What is calibration? • Calibration is a process by which a certified technician use known weights or a reference weight to adjust weighing scale’s response, whether calibrating mechanical or electronic scales.

  3. Under the procedure weighing instrument must indicate an exact zero when it is not subjected to any loading. • Additionally, an error is calculated by obtaining a difference between measured value and reference weight. As a result, the scale is considered as fit to use when it produces output results with negligible error and within specified tolerance limits Weighing Scale Calibration: • Start with preparing the weighing instrument for calibration. Clean it properly, remove any traces of oil or dirt. If you are using digital weighing scales, turn them on few minutes before performing a calibration procedure.

  4. Modern scales come with calibration mode or calibration setting button. Press the button and initiate the calibration mode. • Make sure your weighing instrument stands on firm footings; it must not wobble or feel unbalanced. • Use calibration kit that or reference weight that is provided with the weighing scale at the time of purchase. Take measurement of reference weight and complete calibration cycle. • If you are not confident about performing calibration at your facility or you do not possess required equipment, you can opt for third party calibration services available in your area.
