Calibration Weight
Greenhut · New Zealand
Accuracy is the single most significant advantage of using a digital scale. To ensure your scale is dialed in, you need a calibration weight from the Greenhut.
A calibration weight is a consistent unit of weight used as a reference. Having a reliable metric to use as a calibrator helps build confidence in your scale. After regular use, your scale will get thrown off slightly and need to be calibrated.
A digital scale is an investment that helps you get the most out of your flower and extracts. When taken care of properly, a premium scale will last a lifetime; however, you need to practice proper scale etiquette. To keep your scale in premium condition, you should:
- Store your upright without any weight on the scale
- Never exceed the weight limit
- Calibrate after regular use
Accessories like digital scales and calibration weights are necessary to enjoy herbs at their maximum potential. At Greenhut, we are proud to carry everything you need to optimize your lifestyle.
Frequently asked questions
What is a calibration weight actually for? It is a mass made to a stated value, used to check and reset a digital scale. You place it on the platform and run the scale calibration routine so the reading matches the marked figure.
How often should I calibrate a digital scale? Any time the scale has been moved, knocked or had its batteries changed, and whenever a reading looks wrong. A quick check against a test weight before use takes only a moment.
Can I just use a coin instead? Coins wear down and pick up grime, so their mass drifts away from the nominal figure. A gram test weight is made to a stated value, which is what a scale calibration routine expects to see.
How should a test weight be handled and stored? Handle it with clean dry fingers or tweezers, because oil and grit on the surface add to the mass. Store it in its case somewhere dry so the surface does not corrode.
