Scales, Balances and Load Cells

Graziers keeping track on their livestock’s weight gain and delivery men weighing parcels to determine shipping costs are but two examples of how scales are commercially used.

In many industries scales are also utilised to measure raw materials that are used to create compound products, making it obviously important why scales need to maintain their accuracy. The consequences of incorrectly calibrated scales could mean the final product does not meet required specifications. Costly product recalls may follow and the company’s reputation could be damaged beyond repair.
