    0.0000  Calibration The Accuris Analytical Balance carries out mass measurements using gravity (g). Differences in geographical regions and altitudes will affect the gravitational acceleration (g). The balance must therefore be adapted to specific environmental conditions by calibrating to obtain accurate measurements.
