CALIBRATION
All electronic scales and instruments are affected by environmental
conditions in which they are used. Periodic calibration checks should be
carried out. At least once a year, a full calibration & verification should be
carried out to certified tractability.
ATP Instrumentation Ltd offer full verification and calibration to traceable
standards and documented procedures. A certificate of calibration is then
issued detailing the true weight and the scale readings in laboratory
conditions.
Please call our technical helpline on 01530 566804 for currents prices and
turnaround times.
