Michelli provides standard traceable and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scale calibration services for truck scales, rail scales, floor scales, bench scales, counting scales, checkweighers, tank and hopper scales, and other weighing equipment.
Scale calibration helps confirm that weighing equipment is producing accurate readings for production, quality control, inventory, shipping, receiving, legal-for-trade applications, and regulated weighing programs. When a scale drifts out of tolerance, the impact can affect product quality, transaction accuracy, material usage, and operational decisions.
Michelli calibrates many makes and models of weighing equipment, including equipment purchased from other suppliers. Service options may include standard traceable calibration, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration, on-site calibration, in-lab calibration, preventative maintenance, repair support, and documentation based on the scale type, application, and required scope.
Calibration support for truck scales, rail scales, tank scales, hopper scales, and other heavy capacity equipment.
State-licensed scale technicians are available for applicable calibration, inspection, and legal-for-trade support.
Calibration documentation and asset management to support quality systems, audits, and regulated measurement programs.
Weight measurement is used to determine how heavy an object or material is. In practical weighing applications, scales help teams measure product, ingredients, shipments, inventory, waste, raw materials, finished goods, and other items that affect business operations.
Scales range from high precision light capacity equipment to heavy capacity industrial systems. A bench scale, counting scale, truck scale, rail scale, and tank scale all measure weight, but each requires the right calibration approach, test equipment, procedures, and documentation for its application.
Scales used for buying, selling, shipping, or custody transfer may require inspection and documentation based on state and local requirements.
Scales used in batching, filling, inventory, material handling, and production workflows need reliable readings.
Calibration helps support repeatable measurements and documentation for quality programs.
Scale calibration compares the weight reading produced by a scale against certified test weights with known values. If the scale does not produce readings within the required tolerance, adjustment may be needed based on the equipment, application, and service scope.
For heavy capacity equipment such as truck scales and rail scales, Michelli uses heavy duty test trucks, test carts, and certified test weights. For smaller scales, technicians use appropriate traceable weights and calibration procedures based on the scale type, capacity, readability, and intended use.
Technicians review scale condition, placement, component condition if applicable, and operating status.
Certified test weights are applied to the scale deck to test weighment accuracy.
Adjustments are made when required to ensure accuracy of weight readings.
Calibration results are documented for quality, audit, or regulated weighing needs.
Michelli can help determine the right calibration path based on scale type, capacity, application, tolerance requirements, legal-for-trade needs, quality system, and documentation requirements.
Standard traceable calibration is available for many scale types and may be appropriate when documented calibration traceable to recognized measurement standards is required.
ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scale calibration is available for applicable equipment and scopes when accredited documentation is required by quality systems, customers, or regulations.
On-site scale calibration is available for many weighing applications, including heavy capacity scales, production scales, and equipment that is not practical to ship.
Scale calibration may be part of legal-for-trade support for scales used in commercial transactions, pricing by weight, custody transfer, or regulated weighing applications.
Michelli offers scale calibration services for many types of weighing equipment, from precision and light capacity scales to heavy capacity industrial weighing systems. Contact your nearest Michelli location to confirm the appropriate service scope for specific equipment.
Scale calibration documentation may include calibration results, traceability information, scale identification, standards used, as-found and as-left data, and other details based on the selected service scope.
Michelli can help determine whether standard traceable calibration, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration, inspection support, or legal-for-trade documentation is the right fit for your scale, application, or audit requirements.
Request Calibration Service
Scale calibration services may be available under standard traceable or ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scopes depending on the equipment and calibration requirements.
Many scale calibration services are performed on-site, especially for heavy capacity scales and installed equipment. Portable scales and smaller weighing devices may be suitable for ship-in or drop-off calibration depending on the equipment and service scope.
If you have multiple scales or locations, an equipment list can help Michelli review scale types, capacities, service needs, and documentation requirements before scheduling calibration.
Available for truck scales, rail scales, and other heavy capacity calibration needs.
Portable scales may be shipped with an equipment list to help streamline intake and service planning.
Michelli can help coordinate scale calibration, maintenance, and repair support across multiple locations.
