Calibration - how is it done?

An indispensable tool for balance calibration is one or several mass standards including values ​​(calibration points) for which calibration will be performed. Usually, they are Min, 50% Max and Max for the calibrated weight.

You need to know the errors and uncertainty of these mass standards (they are written on the calibration certificates).

You also need the value of the scale's reading division.

We perform a series of measurements, noting the scale's indications.

We substitute into the formulas and calculate the error and uncertainty. We do it for each calibration point separately.
