Accurate mass measurement is a fundamental requirement for countless industrial, commercial, and scientific processes. Whether you are formulating a product, ensuring fair trade for bulk materials, or conducting critical lab research, an inaccurate weighing instrument can lead to significant financial loss, inconsistent quality, and non-compliance with regulations.
Al Saqr Engineering is the UAE’s trusted authority for mass, weight, and balance calibration. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited services provide the highest level of assurance that your weighing equipment is performing accurately. Using precision mass standards traceable to international prototypes, we can calibrate your equipment on-site or in our environmentally controlled laboratory.
Our Mass & Balance Calibration Capabilities Include:
Industrial Weighing Scales: Platform scales, floor scales, bench scales, crane scales, and weighbridges.
Laboratory Balances: High-precision analytical balances, top-loading balances, and microbalances.
Standard Test Weights: Certification and recalibration of your reference weights (e.g., OIML Classes F1, M1, etc.).
Load Cell Calibration: Verification and calibration of individual load cells used in custom weighing systems.
All weighing instruments drift over time due to wear, use, and environmental changes. Regular calibration verifies the scale's accuracy against a known standard. This is critical for ensuring you aren't giving away product (under-billing) or short-changing a customer (over-billing), and for maintaining consistent product quality in manufacturing.
The required frequency depends on several factors, including how critical the measurement is, the harshness of the environment, frequency of use, and any regulatory requirements. A common baseline is annual calibration, but more critical or high-use scales may require semi-annual or quarterly checks.
OIML classes define the tolerance or accuracy of a test weight. F1 class weights have a much tighter tolerance and are used for calibrating high-accuracy laboratory balances (e.g., analytical balances). M1 class weights have a wider tolerance and are more robust, making them ideal for calibrating industrial scales like floor and platform scales.
