Can this scale be calibrated?

It can be zeroed out, but do not remember seeing anything about recalibration. I assume you mean putting a known weight on it and resetting it to that weight. Correct? As an aside.....it has a max capacity of one pound.

To be honest I never bother calibrating mine, and things have turned out okay. I did realize that was kind of dumb so compared the known weight of an object (weighed on another, calibrated one) to the weight shown on my scale and it was close enough for my purposes (like off by 0.1 or 0.01 (can't remember if there's two points after the decimal or not)). Though you can always calibrate w a nickel or other coin w a known weight of course.

Yes. This scale measures in Oz, Ozt (Troy Oz), Grams and Gr (Grains). It is very accurate and did not need any calibration out of the box.

Mine is not calibrated and is way off. They expect me to find a 5 lb. weight somewhere in order to calibrate the item.

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.

I am unsure. I purchase a scale, had it sent to my mother in another state and none of my relatives could get it to work. We ended up returning the scale.

Unfortunately not. The reading changes instantly. I had to buy a bowl with a bottom diameter about the size of the scale one.

I didn't need to calibrate. I did test it on 3 items that I knew the exact weight of and it was right on each time.

I wish I could sincerely answer your question. This device has not been the best so far. Constant calibration and off results. I would suggest investing a little bit more money on a better scale.

It can be calibrated the same way any torque wrench is cal'd. Any precision calibration shop will be able to do it. Scott Reilly, A&P Mechanic

It came calibrated but I also had an old school fool scale that I used to verify the digital scale was correct. There is also an instruction manual.

Eatsmart suggests that you not move the scale any more than necessary. After each move, the scale must recalibrate itself. Therefore, I would think that storing on it's side could lead to possible calibration problems in the future.

If by calibrating you mean bringing the scale at 0 when you place on it the container in which you wish to weigh something, there is a button that calibrates the scale at its touch. It's user friendly...

I thought it could be calibrated but the web site said this ... "Only certain Escali scales can be calibrated, please see specific product specifications for more details. Most other Escali scales do not need to be calibrated, accuracy is guaranteed out of the box." The user guide (which can be downloaded as a .pdf) for the all plastic Primo doesn't mention calibration. The Website FAQ is ... http://www.escali.com/FAQ. You can always buy a calibration weight of some size less than the scale's max. capacity to VERIFY the scale's accuracy, but the scale can't be RECALIBRATED if it doesn't have that function.

You can set this soldering station to either scale, your choice. Software/Firmware allows you to choose your preference. Nice feature. This convertibility is a feature that is sadly missing on their FG-100 soldering tip thermometer used to accurately calibrate soldering station, in case the user/owner mistakenly "recalibrates" (easy to do, if one isn't careful) the default factory settings.

There is no need to calibrate the scale before use. I use the scale to weigh out coffee for my morning brew. The measurement readings change with increases in weight. From 0-200g you're able to measure to the nearest hundredth of a gram (0.01g). From 201-500g your able to measure to the nearest tenth of a gram (0.1g)From 501 - 2000g you're able to measure to the nearest gram (1g)Hope this helps.

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?
