The calibration on your weighing scales needs to be checked every now and again to ensure a proficient service for your clients. Maintenance is to be provided in order to make sure that no errors are made when using scales. By calibrating your scales, you will be able to eliminate room for errors. 

There are a number of questions you need to ask yourself when it comes to knowing how often you need to service your scales: 

How often is your equipment used?

What is it used for?

Is it rusty? If so, is your equipment at risk of corrosion?

Is your scale subjected to extreme temperature variations? 

Is it kept in a humid environment?

How old is it?

What does its manual say?

Is it moved around frequently? 

Is it cleaned frequently?

Benefits of weight calibration 

• Avoids waste
• Cost savings
• Reliable measurements
• Internal and external auditing
• Detecting any errors or wear and tear
• Process improvement 

Balances and weights should be calibrated at least once a year. However, it is best to do so more frequently, as you might avoid high-cost damages and production issues. You need to check your scale's accuracy to reduce calibration-related risks.

Preventative maintenance is also crucial when it comes to knowing how long your scales will last. Thorough routine checks will provide you with a longer lifespan for your instrument, while still ensuring that accuracy is not lost over time. 

You can prevent malfunctions 

Breakage and equipment malfunction can go undetected, resulting in high bills when it comes to fixing your equipment. Being off a few kilos can easily cost you thousands of euros in the long run.
