Mass Calibration

What is the difference between Weight & Mass?

Weight is often taken to mean the same as mass, however, there is a difference, which for calibration purposes is important to note:

• Mass is the measurement of the amount of material that makes up the object.
• Weight is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Calibration weights are available in a wide range of classes and specifically used for certain types of balances such as:

• M1 calibration weights are used for testing and calibrating standard scales
• F1 calibration weights are used for testing and calibrating precision electronic balances
• E2 calibration weights are used for testing and calibrating analytical balances

We offer calibration on the following weights and mass equipment:

• Electronic balance
• Analytical balance
• Moisture analyzer
• Pallet Truck Scale
• Weighing scale
• Bench-scale
• Platform scale
• Forklift load test
• Hopper load test
• Vessel load test
• Standard Test Weights etc.
