Calibration Weights
Calibration Weights for Scales
Calibration weights can be used to help ensure accurate readings when using scales. They provide a known, traceable weight that allows for precise scale calibration to a known standard. Calibration weights are typically made of stainless steel or high-grade plastic and available in multiple sizes and shapes, making them suitable for a variety of different industries and applications. By using calibration weights on your scales, you will achieve the most accurate readings possible and maintain their accuracy over time.
Calibration weights are essential for precise readings when using scales. By providing a known, traceable weight that matches the same standards set out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), they represent the most dependable way to calibrate scales and maintain accuracy over time.
Our calibration weights are built with precision using materials like stainless steel and high-grade aluminum and cast iron, making them ideal for a variety of industries and applications. We offer multiple sizes and shapes, so you’re sure to find one that works for your specific needs.
Investing in calibration weights is an important step towards ensuring accuracy with your scale readings. Take advantage of our catalog of state-of-the-art calibration weights today to get the readings you can count on.
What weights are calibrated by NIST?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) calibrates a range of weights, from 1 milligram to 50 kilograms. These weights are traceable to the international system of units (SI) and meet NIST standards for accuracy and precision. NIST weights are used to help in a variety of industries, including research laboratories and industrial production, to maintain accurate scale readings. Additionally, these weights are often used as reference standards when developing new measurement methods or devices.
Are calibration weights necessary?
Calibration weights are necessary for many industries to ensure accurate and consistent readings. Without calibration weights, scales can become inaccurate over time due to environmental factors, wear and tear, or other elements. Regularly using calibration weights for your scales provides assurance that your readings remain precise and reliable over time.
