- Abstract:
- This paper describes the metrological requirements and the measurements methods for calibrating nonautomatic weighing instruments. It also may be a useful guideline for operators working in calibration laboratories accredited in various fields. This paper is also intended to enable metrology laboratories to prove a given expanded uncertainty using suitable procedures. Two examples of calibration methods are given: one for electronic weighing instruments and another for the mechanical instruments. The described methods include information regarding the measurements standards used for calibration, environmental conditions, calibration procedures and estimation of the measurement uncertainty.
