How to Calibrate Weighing Scale

• 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 scales 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 scales response,
  whether calibrating mechanical or electronic
  scales.

• 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.

• 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.
