Keep Your Operation Accurate, Compliant, and Productive
Whether you're managing a manufacturing line, warehouse, or food processing plant, industrial scale calibration is critical to keeping your operation running efficiently. In industries where every ounce counts, even the smallest inaccuracy can lead to lost revenue, regulatory violations, or costly downtime.
At Capitol Scale, we provide certified industrial scale calibration services across Wisconsin, helping businesses like yours maintain precision, compliance, and peace of mind.
✅ What Is Industrial Scale Calibration?
Calibration is the process of adjusting your scale to ensure that its readings are accurate and within accepted tolerance limits. Over time, factors like wear-and-tear, environmental conditions, overloading, or component drift can cause inaccuracies—even in high-quality scales.
Our technicians use NIST-traceable test weights to verify your equipment’s performance and make any necessary adjustments.
🔍 Why Regular Calibration Matters
Failing to calibrate your industrial scales regularly can result in:
Product loss or overuse of materials
Inconsistent production batches
Quality control issues
Regulatory non-compliance (ISO, HACCP, etc.)
Customer complaints and lost trust
In short, an uncalibrated scale could be costing you more than you think.
⚙️ Types of Industrial Scales We Calibrate
We service and calibrate a wide range of industrial weighing systems, including:
Floor Scales
Bench Scales
Platform Scales
Counting Scales
Crane Scales
Hopper/Tank Scales
Precision Balances
Checkweighers
Custom-built scale systems
📅 How Often Should You Calibrate?
The answer depends on your industry, usage, and risk tolerance. General guidelines:
High-Volume / Critical Use: Monthly or Quarterly
General Industrial / Warehousing: Semi-Annually
Food, Pharma, or Regulated Environments: Follow ISO or HACCP guidelines (often Quarterly)
Low-Use Applications: Annually
If your scale is used in legal-for-trade applications, your calibration schedule may also be governed by state or federal regulations.
