Calibration is critical to the performance of your measuring equipment. The goal of calibration is to minimize errors in measurement and alleviate measurement uncertainty.

Calibration ensures an instrument’s accuracy and ability to report correct measurements each time it is used. Over time, instruments can drift outside of acceptable tolerances and report inaccurate results.

To learn more about calibration, visit our Services page.

There’s no set schedule for calibration, so the best place to start is either the user’s manual for your instrument or the instrument’s manufacturer. As you begin using your instrument, note how your process impacts calibration and call for service as needed.

Without regular service and calibration, it’s possible for scales to be incorrect or operating outside of regulation requirements. Scheduling routine preventative maintenance for your scales can help reduce cost and give you the peace of mind that your equipment is operating at peak performance.

It’s also important to remember that many scales have warranty requirements that should be taken into account for preventative maintenance schedules.

The answer varies quite a bit from process to process. In general, five factors impact the final true cost of downtime: Lost Revenue, Lost Productivity, Defective Product, Recovery Costs, and other Intangible Costs.

We created our Inaccurate Scale Cost Calculator to help you better understand the financial cost associated with inaccurate scales.
