How  frequently should your scales be calibrated?  
The above chart describes the amount of money lost due to scale inaccuracies on a daily and yearly basis.
There are several factors to consider when deciding on frequency of scale calibration and testing.

  1. Is the scale operating in a hostile environment?
  2. How much is this equipment being used, one, two, three shifts, or only several times a week?
  3. Are there Quality Control parameters, which must be maintained such as U.S. Government or ISO 9000?
  4. How long can your company afford to allow your scale equipment to operate with a possible error in weight reading?
