The Significance of
Laboratory Balance
Accuracy is an important factor in the results in
a laboratory. It is always defined as the value
which is closest to the standard measurement
standards. This kind of precision measurement
ensures that nothing is left to the guesswork.
Hence, the benefits of laboratory balance lies
in its ability to achieve this accuracy and
precision.
Calibration
 Calibration refers to the evaluation and adjustment
of the accuracy and precision of the measurement
equipment or instrument. It is the weight reading
comparison of the mass level under consideration.
Calibration is usually undertaken at full capability
and aims to lower or remove bias in an
instrument’s readings over a range of continuous
values.
Reproducibility
 Reproducibility is the degree of agreement
between the results of experiments, whether
undertaken by different individuals, at different
locations or with different equipment for a specific
object. It determines if the results can be replicated
repeatedly for an object. It can also be referred to
as standard deviation to determine the balance.
Linearity
 Linearity is an indicator of the fact whether the
measurement is consistent over the entire range of
measurements. It is a useful factor to determine
the correspondence of instrument measurement to
reality.
Corner load
 Also known as shift test or eccentricity test, this
factor checks the accuracy of readings by
measuring the weight of the object on different
quadrants on the weighing instrument. Ideally, an
object should generate similar reading irrespective
of its position on the weighing instrument. If this is
not done, then the results may turn out inaccurate.
