NTEP Bench Scales

NTEP bench scales are high-precision scales that are certified by the National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) for use in legal-for-trade applications. These scales are designed to meet strict accuracy and reliability standards, making them suitable for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial settings.

NTEP bench scales come in a variety of designs, including platform scales, counting scales, and bench scales with built-in indicators. They also come in different capacities and sizes, making it easy to find a scale that is well-suited to your specific needs.

NTEP bench scales should be calibrated by a qualified technician, as the process can be complex and requires specialized equipment. The technician will typically use test weights to check the accuracy of the scale and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it is operating within the specified tolerance.

NTEP bench scales are certified by the National Type Evaluation Program, meaning they have been independently tested and verified to meet strict accuracy and reliability standards. Non-NTEP bench scales, on the other hand, may not have been independently tested and may not meet the same level of accuracy and reliability.
