Accuracy and precision of weighing scales diminished with time; so, regular maintenance and weighing scale calibration is required to achieve accurate results.

1. Start with preparing the weighing instrument for
calibration. Clean it properly, remove any traces of oil
or dirt. If you are using digital weighing scales, turn
them on few minutes before performing a calibration
procedure.
Modern scales come with calibration mode or
calibration setting button. Press the button and initiate
the calibration mode.
Make sure your weighing instrument stands on firm
footings; it must not wobble or feel unbalanced.
Use calibration kit or reference weight that is provided
with the weighing scale at the time of purchase. Take
measurement of reference weight and complete the
calibration cycle
Calibration is a process by which a certified technician use
known weights or a reference weight to adjust weighing
scale’s response, whether it's a mechanical or electronic
scale.
When calibrating an at your
setup, follow this simple procedure as described here.
