When and why you should calibrate your balance

Keeping balances used in regulated environments calibrated is the essence of good science and safe manufacturing.

The answer is simple: if you use your balance at all, regular calibration is critical. The question frequently comes up when a balance is initially purchased. A new balance operator’s manual almost always recommends calibration before use
