Calibration Record of Laboratory Balances
Procedure ACMP-OP-015: Calibration involves checking the reading given on the balance against standard known-mass calibration weights. Most electronic balances in an educational setting require Span Calibration, which involves calibrating the balance at two points on its scale. Equipment and apparatus used in testing materials must be calibrated or verified for accuracy on a regular basis to assure the equipment is giving reliable results.
