Over time and use, mechanical deviations may occur so it is recommended that you calibrate you balance regularly for peak performance. Before calibrating your should make sure you have the correct weights. The weights should be known to an accuracy that is appropriate for the balance being calibrated, for example, OIML Class M1 type or ASTM E617 Class 4. If you do not have the correct weights do not attempt calibration. Model CQT 202 CQT 251 CQT 601 CQT 1501 CQT 2601 CQT 2000 CQT 5000 Calibrat 200g 500g 1000g ion 100g 100g Or ...
