Influences on Mass Calibration ꟷ Minimizing Uncertainties

In mass calibration, minimizing uncertainties is critical and multiple physical effects can affect the measurement. The main influencing factors are the comparator balance itself, thermal stability, vibrations, air drafts and magnetism. The impact of static factors can be reduced by making appropriate choices with regards to equipment and environment.

The white paper “Influences on Mass Calibration - Minimizing Uncertainties” explains how to make accurate daily weight calibration measurements by minimizing associated uncertainty. The extent to which physical influences can affect weighing performance and measurement accuracy is often are underestimated. This can lead to measurements that do not fulfill the requirements of applicable regulations or quality standards.  
 
In order to achieve reliable and accurate mass measurements, environmental influences should be analyzed and reduced or eliminated wherever possible. In this white paper, you will learn to recognize and control or correct the effects of these influences (e.g. air buoyancy ) to generate higher accuracy measurements with confidence. This can lead to more reliable calibration results and easier compliance with industry regulations.
