Tips for Preparing your Equipment for Calibration

Properly preparing your mass measurement equipment for calibration ensures accurate results and prevents damage. Here are some common tips to follow:

• Thoroughly clean the equipment to remove any dust, debris, or contaminants. Pay special attention to sensitive areas such as weighing pans, load cells, and measuring surfaces.
• If your equipment has removable parts (e.g., weighing pans, draft shields), disassemble them for safe packing. Wrap delicate components separately to prevent damage.
• Use appropriate packaging materials such as foam, bubble wrap, or custom-fit cases. Ensure that the equipment is snugly secured to prevent movement during transit.
• If your equipment has load cells or strain gauges, protect them from impact by adding extra padding. Use shock-absorbing materials to minimize vibrations.
