What is weighing scale calibration?
A calibration is essentially an MOT for a weighing scale. It's the process of verifying the accuracy of a weighing scale by undertaking testing procedures and comparing the output weight data with the weight of a certified object/weight.
If any issues are identified, then this process gives an opportunity for them to be rectified, so that you can continue to use your weighing scale, limiting the amount of downtime you experience.
Do I need to calibrate my weighing scales?
The accuracy of your weighing equipment will slowly degrade over time, as a result of constant use. Therefore, the right maintenance is crucial for ensuring high levels of weighing accuracy at all times.
Even changes in climate can have an effect on the performance and accuracy of your weighing scales, regular maintenance and calibration will help keep your scales in optimum condition and weighing accurately and reliably.
