Calibration weights or test weights are designed to verify the scale's accuracy in terms of reading, adjustment, and operations. These weights ensure the behaviour of the scales by calibrating a wide range of analytical, precision, or general-purpose scales. They come as a set, as an individual, or as a kit of weights. These weights show the indications required for the precise accuracy and adjustments of scales.
Materials for Calibration Weights:
For anti-magnetisation, calibration weights are manufactured from highly durable and rust-resistant metals such as iron, polished brass, stainless steel, or aluminium. These materials provide corrosion, wear, and tear resistance, influencing their accuracy.
The Weight Range and Style of the Calibration Weights:
We stock knob-style calibration weights ranging from 0.001 grams to 2 kilograms.
Why Do I Need Tool Calibrations?
Calibration is crucial in ensuring the accuracy, adjustment, check, reliability, and traceability of the obtained results from scales or balances. Furthermore, the efficiency and maintenance of weighing instruments and applications rely on calibration.
What are the Types/Classes of Calibration Weights?
Calibration weights are classified into various forms of organisations based on their accuracy levels. They are also classified by the degree of accuracy and balance resolution required to meet the desired weighing applications. The main classes include:
- Class E2 - these weights are suitable for highly accurate analytical balances.
- Class F1 - the included weights are best for precision electronic balances.
- Class M1 - designed to be used for standard scales.
