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.
