Calibration and service

Calibration services

All balances and scales need regular calibration. Equipment results can drift due to age and the conditions they are used in. This obviously can lead to major errors in readings.

Calibration is most important for new equipment, as it needs to be done on-site before use. Most balances and scales cannot be used “straight out of the box” with any guarantee of accuracy.

Balance Technology can supply calibration certificates (UKAS or standard) as required.

Professional balance & scale servicing

To guarantee accuracy of readings throughout the equipment lifetime, we recommend that equipment is kept in a clean safe working condition and serviced at regular intervals. Depending on customer requirements this can be from annual to monthly or anywhere in between, which would typically include:

  • Advice on onsite location and use of equipment
  • A reading check
  • Stripping and cleaning
  • Fitting of parts where applicable
  • Re-assembly
  • Adjustments
  • Equipment test
  • Final calibration

Onsite and callout services are available within our standard area of operation.
