White Paper: Handling Test Weights - Sensible Selection and Correct Handling of Test Weights
Authors: Dr. Ellen Hage, Axel Taube, Dr. Julian Haller, Niclas Ludolph | Last updated: May 2021
Overview
For successful quality assurance, test equipment must be used within specified tolerance ranges. It is also necessary to check test equipment – in this case, weighing instruments and weights – at appropriate intervals. The question is, how does one check non-automatic laboratory balances? Which weights can be used to conduct these tests independently, and how can they take place?
Download this white paper to learn about possibilities for the user to control and test a balance using test weights. Recommendations and practical examples are given, along with guidelines for the correct handling of weights and lab balance equipment.
