Discover why and when to calibrate your balance...
Calibration is the process of checking the accuracy of your balance.
To properly calibrate a balance, you need to use a weight of a known value, this weight will be different depending on the model of the balance.
Types of Calibration
Manual calibration requires adjusting a screw, this is not required on any of the OHAUS electronic balances.
External calibration – the user is prompted by the balance to place a calibration weight onto the balance platform and the balance will then adjust itself to the correct displayed value.
Span calibration uses two calibration points, one at zero and the other at the specified calibration weight.
Linearity calibration uses three calibration points, one at zero and then two further specified weights.
