Scale Calibration Services
Every pound in and out of your building crosses a scale. The scale had better be right.
ACS Calibration delivers NIST-traceable, audit-ready scale calibration, available at the ACS central lab or directly on-site at facilities across the Southeast. Balances from 2 g to 3,000 g and scales through 750 lb are on our accredited scope — larger scales to 5,000 lb NIST-traceable — so accredited certificates are available on request.
Scales & Balances We Calibrate
From 0.1 mg analytical balances to 5,000 lb floor scales — if it weighs, we calibrate it.
Frequently serviced brands: Ohaus, Mettler Toledo, CAS, A&D Weighing, Rice Lake, Health-o-meter, ULINE, KERN, Chatillon, and Seca — plus dozens more.
Weighing Is Money — Here’s How We Protect It
Shipping and receiving, batching, checkweighing, inventory — weighing errors compound invisibly, one transaction at a time. And scales drift in ways a glance never catches: eccentricity (reading differently corner to corner), repeatability that loosens with wear, linearity that bows in the middle of the range. Forklift hits and washdowns accelerate all three.
We calibrate scales the way the scope demands it: corner-load, repeatability, and linearity testing with certified test weights, as-found and as-left readings on every certificate. Accredited through 750 lb; NIST-traceable through 5,000 lb.
The family runs from benchtop scales and platform scales to industrial floor scales — plus laboratory balances down to 0.1 mg. Floor scales don’t ship well; onsite calibration brings the test weights to you.
What You Get With Every Calibration
- NIST-traceable calibration certificate with real measurement data — not just a pass/fail sticker
- As-found and as-left readings, so drift is documented
- ISO/IEC 17025 accredited certificate with reported uncertainty — on request
- Calibration label with due date, plus a reminder before your next calibration is due
Why Companies Choose ACS for Scale Calibration
NIST-Traceable, Accredited on Request
Every calibration is NIST-traceable with real measurement data. Balances to 3,000 g and scales to 750 lb are on our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scope — accredited certificates on request, with NIST-traceable coverage to 5,000 lb.
