Definition of accuracy class

Pontossági osztály osztásköz szerintCalculate the number of scale divisions by dividing the measuring range by the resolution.

Example: 1000 g load capacity scale with 10 mg accuracy:

képlet

Required accuracy class of calibration weight: F1

Balance accuracy Balance division Required accuracy class
IV general use balance ≤ 1,000 d M3
III medium precision balance ≤ 10,000 d M1
II precision balance ≤ 30,000 d F2
  ≤ 100,000 d F1
I analytical balance > 100,000 d E2

 

Selection of required weights

If it is sufficient to check the balance's performance at one point, it must be done at the nominal load or at least 80% of the nominal load. It leads to a more accurate measurement if the calibration is done with one weight, not a combination of several weights.

In order to have a more accurate weight control, it is necessary to choose a calibration weight corresponding to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the capacity.
