Scales and Load Cells
On-Site Scale and Load Cell Calibration Services with NATA Certified Equipment
At Australian Calibration Group, we understand the critical importance of accurate scales and load cells in your operations. Inaccurate measurements can lead to costly errors, compromised product quality, and even safety hazards. Our recent experience with a manufacturing facility highlights the significant impact that even seemingly minor issues can have on scale performance.
The Case of the Inaccurate 3-Tonne Scale
Our technicians were called to a manufacturing facility to address a 3-tonne scale producing inaccurate readings. Upon inspection, we found the scale was not properly levelled and had accumulated debris, interfering with its operation. Through meticulous levelling and a thorough cleaning, we restored the scale to optimal working condition. Using the scale’s internal software application, we re-calibrated it to achieve accuracy within 1 kg across its entire range.
The Importance of Scale and Load Cell Calibration
Scale and load cell calibration is essential for maintaining accuracy, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, and optimising your operations. They can lose accuracy over time due to factors such as:
- Wear-and-Tear: Regular use can cause components to wear down, affecting the instrument’s precision.
- Environmental Factors: Temperature fluctuations, humidity, and even vibrations can impact performance.
- Overloads: Exceeding the instrument's capacity can damage its internal mechanisms.
Consequences of Inaccurate Scales and Load Cells
Failing to calibrate your scale and load cell can result in a range of issues, including:
- Financial Losses: Inaccurate measurements can lead to overfilling or underfilling products, resulting in wasted materials, dissatisfied customers, and potential fines.
- Compromised Product Quality: In industries where precise measurements are crucial, such as pharmaceuticals or food production, inaccurate scales and load cells can compromise product quality and safety.
- Safety Hazards: Inaccurate scales and load cells used for weighing heavy loads can create safety risks, potentially leading to accidents or injuries.
