Chair Weighing Scales Calibration
Who we are ?
Mabtech are specialists in the calibration of Chair Scales and other Weighing equipment used in Nursing Home and Hospital Environments. We use Certified Calibrated Weights to ensure accurate weighing of your clients.
What is Chair scale calibration and why should I calibrate?
Chair scale calibration is essential to achieve accurate weighing results. Ignoring this important service activity turns measuring into guesswork. In other words, it is negligent to weigh with a non-calibrated scale. The accuracy of wheelchair scales becomes less reliable over time. This is the result of normal wear and tear caused by regular use and external factors such as mechanical shocks or hazardous environments. This may lead to a rather quick degradation or deterioration over a longer time. Periodically scheduled scale calibration in combination with frequent routine testing greatly enhances the life time of your scale and its weighing accuracy.
But what is calibration ?
In simple terms, calibration is a quantitative comparison. To check the reading of a scale, a reference weight is placed on the scale. The error is defined as the difference between the measured value (the reading) and the true value (the reference weight). If the error is within acceptable limits, a certificate is created, which reports the scales readings and compares them to a reference value. Applied tolerances result in a Pass/Fail statement. If the scales fail a calibration adjustment is carried out and test is repeated.
