Routine Checks

Gammex no longer offers certificates of conformance for scales – please seek out a local metrology
center for routine recertification if required. If adjustments are needed to dial in the scale, follow
instructions below for the calibration process.
Note: Calibration might be required upon first use. This is especially true after an altitude change,
where gravitational force can vary for the same body of mass. Calibration of scales should be
checked over time as mechanical components are subject to wear.

Required equipment:
10 kg certified weight or combination of certified weights.
