Daily Check Balance and Scales


Introduction:

If you rely on scales to deliver weight measurements for your business, you’ll need to
calibrate your scales regularly to maintain their accuracy.

How regularly depends on how much you use them, the environment in which they’re
used, and the accuracy you need.

To perform routine testing correctly need follow all these steps.


A daily check involves testing your scales to ensure they deliver the levels of accuracy
you need before you start your test.
A typical calibration of scales involves the following steps:

 A known standard or certified mass (we use either M1 or F1 scale calibration


weights) is placed on the scale.
 The corresponding weight reading is recorded and analysed to determine whether
any action is required.
 If the readings match the standards applied or calibration tolerance, no
adjustments are necessary.
 If they don’t match or fall within the tolerance, a service is needed to restore the
accuracy of your scales.
 Our technicians will quote before any work takes place and can service scales from
all manufacturers.

How To Check If Your Scales Are Accurate?


If high precision is less of an issue, then you can check the accuracy of your scales
quickly and easily using a known weight, such as a dumbbell. Place the scale on a flat,
level surface and set it to zero. Then place the object weight onto the scales. If the
reading doesn’t tally with the known weight, adjust the scale accordingly. You should
repeat the test several times to check if your scales return a consistent reading, which
determines its precision.
Use the high weight for the scale you want to check and record the value.

The weight should be use for sensitivity test will be close to max capacity of balance.

Sensitivity Test

Repeatability Test

This step should be done by six time with 100 g weight and record the readings

Eccentricity Test:

This test is performed by placing a test load in different positions of the weighing scale in
such a manner that the centre of gravity of the load takes the positions indicated in the
following figures or equivalent positions, as accurately as possible.
In all scales there is a so-called eccentricity error. Performing an eccentricity test is an
important part of ensuring the accuracy of your weighing scale. It helps to identify any
errors that may occur due to an uneven distribution of weight on the scale's platform.

The test load used for the eccentricity test does not need to be calibrated. The value of
the test load should be at least Max/3 unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
Before starting the test, the indication must be set to zero. The load is first put on
position 1 and then moved to the other four positions in arbitrary order. At last, it is put
again on position 1.

Each time, indications must be recorded and after each removal of the load, we must
make sure that the indication returns to zero.
Example: To our weighing scale, with 200g capacity and scale interval of 0,1mg, we
perform eccentricity test by applying to the five positions a 100g load. The results of the
measurements are as follows:

Position Indication (g)

1 100,0005

2 100,0003

3 100,0004

4 100,0006

5 100,0004
Repeatability in weighing scales and balances is defined as: “The ability to display the
same value when a weight is placed on a scale more than one time. Before testing
repeatability, the indication of the weighing scale must be set to zero. Then the load is
applied at least 5 times.

Every indication corresponding to each deposition of the load is recorded. It is important


to check, after each removal of the load, if the indication returns to zero. If this does not
happen it must be reset to zero.

Readability. As noted earlier, readability is the smallest division of mass that the scale
can display; however, it is not the same as accuracy.

Range of Calibration - Normally the calibration must cover the full weighing range.
(from minimum (Min) to maximum (Max) capacity). Of course, the customer may define
the desired calibration range or individual calibration values. On multiple range
instruments, the customer should specify the ranges that shall be calibrated.
Test Tolerance
The person who will done the daily check test need to provide a training record and for
any issue must report to Quality Control Department.

All daily check worksheet should be collecting each Friday by Quality Department.
