Testing your balance and Scale too much or not enough?
According to ISO 9001, I have to calibrate and verify my weighing device at specified intervals. But the standard makes no statement on how this should be done or how often. Good Weighing Practice™ (GWP®) provides me with a recommendation on testing, based on my specific needs, meeting my internal requirements as well as ISO9001.
"The GWP recommendation also contains all relevant information about test weights and SOPs. So, I am sure to do the right thing." (Mrs. G. Nielsson, Quality Control Manager, Ice Cream)
Systematic balance testing minimizes risks and reduces costs. With the right SOP's testing is a piece of cake.
Free Standard Operating Procedures consist testing information (for Industry scale, lab microbalance, analytical or precision balance) on different topics:
- Sensitivity
- Repeatability
- Eccentricity
What is the Sensitivity of my Balance or Scale ?
High Accuracy with Standard Operating Procedures for Periodic Sensitivity Tests
What is the general rule for testing sensitivity of a balance or scale? How to prepare for the sensitivity test? What can affect the performance of weighing device and how to reduce human error in testing?
Sensitivity and precision of the balance or scale go together - find out how to carry out testing to get trustworthy results. Read this guideline to get the correct results with METTLER TOLEDO's Standard Operating Procedures for routine testing.
What is the Correct Way to Check Repeatability in Balances and Scales?
Consistent Outcome Every Time with Standard Operating Procedures for Periodic Repeatability Tests
Your balance or scale must provide the same result for repeated weighing of the same load under the same measurement conditions. How to examine the repeatability of the weighing device in routine testing?
