Do I need calibration weight for this product? Does it included in this product? If not, which weight do I need to purchase. Thanks.

I didn't need it through a nickel on their it weighed 5 g like it's supposed to I guess it depends on how sensitive you are weighing

I didn't need one... but it is always good to have to make sure you are calibrated... awesome scale!

I purchased a 100g calibration weight which I use once every month to ensure that the unit is measuring accurately. Since this is not a high end scale, I would recommend doing it.

Mine did not come with a calibration weight. Whether you need a calibration weight, depends on your use for it. I make coffee in the morning with it and measure out the grams of coffee I want as well as the oz of water I need for it. I trust it has been pre calibrated correctly. But then again I'm only making coffee.

No it doesn't come with a weight for calibration. I use a US coin to help me calibrate. You really don't need one for this scale.

yes it does. should weigh 5 grams.also it comes with weights if u need to calibrate it.

I only use this scale at my farmers market to weigh produce. I believe you have to get a special scale to get what you want as far as calibration. I know there out there. I would google scales with calibration and that should take you to a company, but expect to spend quite a bit.

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.

No, you do not have to calibrate this scale. It work great just out of the box. I highly recommend it!

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.

Hi DJ, the product comes with the tool needed to calibrate. Here's a description: http://www.cdn-timeandtemp.com/article/how-recalibrate-your-thermometer

In the User Manual, there are no instructions for calibrating this particular model (ME-5KG), so I'm fairly certain calibration is not available for this scale.

Does this need to be re-calibrated when you move it before you weigh yourself?

Did not come with weight. Scale must be calibrated. Suggest amazon search 200g weight

Hi you will need both weights to calibrate this scale (200gram and 500grams). I have a set of labotory weights, so I am able to varify this scales accuracy. I use it daily. It has never been off by more then 0.03grams. Not bad for a 500g x 0.01g scale which cost me less then twenty dollars. I spent around two hundred for my weights alone. I think you will like this scale. P.S. When my scale arrived it was. accurate plus or minus 0.02grams. good luck, have fun. George D. 3-6-14 3:21pm

I received model ACPro-200. It only required the 200 calibration weight. The calibration process never asked for the 100 calibration weight. I noticed in the reviews that AWS must have updated their hardware sometime in 2015, as many of those reviewers also state that their system never asked for the 100 calibration weight, only the 200. Save $5 and skip the 100 calibration weight.

I do not use a calibration weight since I am using my scale for espresso. I am just interested in repeatability, not the exact weight. The others made great suggestions on using coins.

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.

I think the only that works is a 1kg weight. I bought one at the time I bought the scale and it works. American Weigh Scales 1KGWGT Calibration Weight Scale, 1000gm Capacity

calibration settings are usually set at a personal level. You have but to refer to available reviews by buyers to check settings of various users. Such information may serve as a starting point for your own liking.

No you don't. My understanding is that it is supposed to have an internal mechanism to calibrate.
