The Applied Technical Services (ATS) Family of Companies performs weight calibrations to help clients validate their mass standards.
The Importance of Test Weight Calibrations
Quality assurance programs across various industries require certainty, traceability, and precision to uphold a consistent quality standard throughout an organization’s processes. Among many other considerations, they rely on accurate mass measurements to minimize waste, maximize productivity, reduce the likelihood of recalls, and comply with regulations. Businesses must calibrate their scales and balances to ensure resulting measurements remain accurate, which they achieve by referring back to their mass standards. Also known as test weights, these objects represent the standard unit from which all of an organization’s mass measurements derive.
How Weight Calibrations Keep Mass Measurements Accurate
Quality assurance programs must maintain unbroken traceability to a standard to ensure the accuracy of their measurement tools. To preserve this integrity, the standards themselves must also be calibrated—both to confirm they haven’t degraded over time and to certify their traceability for compliance and reporting purposes. Regular test weight calibrations, performed by qualified providers, help quality management personnel reduce waste and increase efficiency by validating the accuracy of their mass measurements.
Our Mass Calibration Capabilities Take You One Step Closer to Certainty
The ATS Family of Companies’ weight calibration services help clients keep their operations running smoothly. Our team of specialists performs this precision calibration service in our climate-controlled standards lab, adhering to strict, documented procedures. We regularly calibrate the following types of mass standards:
- Stainless steel weights
- Precision weights
- Cast-iron weights
- Pound weights
- Hook weights
- Metric weights
- Hanging weights
- Slotted weights
- Leaf weights
All weight calibrations yield reporting that includes As Found/As Left data and is traceable to the NIST. Clients will receive reminders for recalibration as their recertification date approaches.
Quality Is a Commitment
The ATS Family of Companies operates in accordance with our ISO 9001:2015 registered quality management system, ensuring that we meet the most stringent applicable standards for calibration services. We maintain multiple ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations through the A2LA, with scopes that cover a wide range of calibration capabilities.
