Think of it this way, not getting your weighing equipment calibrated in the short term, could cost you a whole lot more down the line
Over time, industrial scales will gradually, but definitely lose their accuracy. It’s hugely important, therefore, that you regularly (at agreed intervals) get them re-calibrated so that they continue to give precise, reliable readings.
Do weighing scales degrade with time?
Yes they do. This might be down to the prevalent environment in which they are used, a consequence of accidental knocks or sudden movement, lack of thorough cleaning to remove debris like dust, the ambient temperature, environmental conditions, inadequate storage - and many other factors.
Think of calibration as a complete service of equipment that ensures your weighing apparatus stays in full working order
By calibrating your scale equipment, you are safeguarding your manufacturing procedures and processes, ensuring that specifications are exactly adhered to – and that customers continue to be delighted with your products, service and brand.
Regular calibration also ensures that you don’t get hit with unnecessary costs due to having to replace faulty goods, loads etc or, in extreme circumstances, have to repeat production runs that have failed due to an avoidable weighing error.
Make no mistake, you will be breaking the Law if you do not regularly calibrate your equipment
Most importantly, you will be breaking the Law if you postpone or don’t calibrate your weighing equipment, particularly if you buy or sell by a predetermined weight.
So when it comes to saving costs there really is only one way when it comes to calibration – you need to do it, if you are to safeguard your business, customers and future.
