An inaccurate scale costs money on every weighment: product given away, short shipments, rejected loads and failed audits. Mountain Scales provides scale calibration in Denver and across Colorado to keep your equipment weighing correctly, from small laboratory balances to truck and railroad track scales.
Scale calibration in Denver
Our technicians test your scale with known reference weights, compare the readings to what the scale should display, and adjust it back into tolerance when needed. We check repeatability, corner or section accuracy on platform and floor scales, and linearity across the scale’s capacity, so you can trust the reading whether you are weighing a few grams or many tons.
What we calibrate
- Laboratory and analytical balances
- Bench, counting and shipping scales
- Floor, pallet and forklift scales
- Tank, hopper and process weighing systems
- Truck scales and railroad track scales
- Overhead and crane weighing equipment
Calibration documentation and certification
Many customers need proof of calibration for quality programs, customer audits or regulatory inspections. Ask us about the documentation available for your scale and your industry, and we will explain what your calibration visit includes before we schedule it.
How often should a scale be calibrated?
It depends on how heavily the scale is used, the environment it works in and the accuracy your business requires. High-use scales, scales in harsh environments and scales used for buying or selling by weight usually need more frequent checks. We can recommend a schedule and set up regular calibration visits so you never have to remember.
Signs your scale needs calibration
- Readings drift or do not return to zero
- The same item weighs differently from one try to the next
- The scale was moved, dropped, overloaded or exposed to water
- Your counts, shipments or inventories no longer match
