BALANCING THE SCALES
Scale calibration is a procedure that determines the accuracy of the scale’s measurements and checks whether its results are in accordance with the standards.
Calibration of scales is important to ensure accuracy and reliability in weighing results.
The calibration procedure is usually carried out with the help of standard weights or other reference measuring instruments. During calibration, the balance is set to different weights and the measurements are compared to reference values to determine the accuracy of the balance. If the scale is found to be inaccurate, it can be adjusted or repaired to ensure accuracy.
Scale calibration is important for various industries, such as pharmaceutical, food, and other industries that rely on accurate weighing. Scales that are not calibrated can give inaccurate results, which can lead to defective products, unnecessary losses or other problems.
It is recommended to calibrate the scales regularly, at least once a year or in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations or the regulations applied in the industry. It is important to check that the scales are calibrated and comply with applicable standards before using them.
