Diamond Scales

When weighing diamonds, periodic calibration is necessary to ensure ongoing accurate and reliable results. Calibrating your diamond weighing instrument will ensure that it reaches standards such as ISO, GMP/GMP, IFS and BRC. Documented calibration procedures verify the quality of measurements, and should be performed regularly throughout the balance’s lifetime. Calibration should not be confused with adjustment and must be repeated after adjustment/repairs.

METTLER TOLEDO diamond scales are made from high-quality, chemically resistant materials and can therefore be cleaned with a commercially available, mild cleaning agent and a damp cloth or soft paper tissue. Use common cleaning agents such as 70% ethanol or isopropanol, or mild detergents. The weighing pan and balance base are made of stainless steel that is robust and chemically resistant, with the exception that it is not compatible with strong acids. Acetone should not be used, even for highly sticky substances, as it is not compatible with plastic handles, glued parts or the screen.
