Can you provide some thing (like certificate) to prove this is calibrated 1 kg weight? I wanna get for company, they need the calibration information/

I am using it for teaching weights and measurement to elementary school children and they needed to see and feel what 1 kg looked and felt like so I don't know the accuracy.

I assume there is some measure of calibration at the factory. There is no calibration certificate, nor is there any way to calibrate the unit short of modifying the cable length. It is, however, the most accurate unit I have owned. Unfortunately, that accuracy is only with the original thermocouples - using other type K thermocouples from Amazon and other suppliers results in bizarre readings. It would be very useful to have a calibration function on the unit.

Hi Christa, To calibrate the scale: Press "MODE" and "ON/OFF" at the same time to turn on the scale and release the keys until the LCD shows ISN. When ISN is stable, press "ON/OFF", the LCD will show "30lb". Then put a 30 lb weight set unto the scale and press "ON/OFF" again. LCD shows "PASS", the calibration is finished.

Mine stays on Lbs. and will not switch to KG. Ok by me. I can't get it to display KG. Tried changing batteries and everything I could think of. Sorry

There is no "calibration" procedure for this unit (at lease not one listed in the manual). I suppose one might measure a known quantity of distilled water at a specific temperature and see how accurately the unit measures that calculated weight.

It's pretty accurate. You just have to be sure that it is on level ground. If it isn't, your weight will be different every single time.

I don't have my owners manual handy but I believe it has to do with setting the scale to read in pounds vs Kg. I think it only read 2 places when using Kg? You question dosen't indicate which setting you're using.

Mine came with a 100 Gram weight to calibrate... I let something a bit heavier sit on it the other day and say a number in the 300's and it blanked. On the box there are 2 "check boxes", a 100 Gram Capacity and a 200 Gram Capacity. My check box is the 100 gram version. Again though, I have mistakenly seen over 300 on mine (causing blank), I just don't know that it was accurate as I wasn't trying to get a measurement.

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scaleasks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check itwith the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weighton ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the productdescription.Good luck.Joe

The documentation of this product did not say anything about calibration. Thus I assume it is already calibrated at the factory. But you bring up a good point. What if at some point the calibration may be off and what do we do? Documentation said nothing about this.

Its always good to have a calibration weight just in case its jarred or dropped during shipping, as this will throw the calibration way off. Or if you want, use an american dollar bill or a jefferson nickel as these will weigh 1.0 and 0.5 respectively. I own one of these, bought it about 5 months ago. Its a lot smaller than it looks but the calibration was dead on accurate despite its cheap price and small size.

i believe it is api not sure on certification but i can tell you i used it i weigh around 260 lbs and i was comfortable in it. i feel it is very durible and would stand behind (under ) it. it was so easy to use my wife tride it out on a tree in the yard. she said why should i have all fun. j.goodell

They make calibration weights. Mine came out of the box right on the money. I haven't touched the calibration. I'd imagine yours is pretty close too. Mine says it was calibrated at the factory, and could change once in the home. Mine was fine. I'd bet you can weigh your parrot within a gram. If you can get it to stand on the scale.

copy this : weighmax 2822-75lb postal shipping scale calibration - into your google search window, & read the manufacture's PDF. You will also see a youtube link appear with your search results, & it covers calibration. I already posted some advice on what to use as a calibration weight ( if you need info on that ). Mine needed no calibration to begin with, & still has no calibration issues.

There is no actual certificate. There is a sticker on the wrench saying it was calibrated and tested.

it can not be calibrated. We are using it in medical office to weigh people in exam rooms rather than hallway scale.

Not to my knowledge, no. On our farm stand we let the customers know it wasn't a certified scale but that we had tested it ourselves and found it to be accurate, and nobody had a problem with it. We always round the price to the nearest nickel anyway, so we don't need anything any more accurate than that. Your application could have different requirements.
