What size calibration weight does it need?

Not necessary. Comes pre-calibrated. You get to pick between 4 weights: g, kg, oz, and one other that I can't remember (but description lists them all).

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.

No does not require calibration. I compared with another scale and it was accurate.

I just put mine on my postal scale and it weighs 2 oz. My scale is older, so I don't know how well calibrated it is anymore. I'm interested to know how you plan to use this if .6 ounces makes a great deal of difference to you. They are the greatest little inventions. Especially for someone like me who can't take a good selfie! Hope this helps.

I believe the scale would be inch pounds, I just multiply / divide by 12 as required and note that the 250 inch pound variation is equivalent to just over 20 foot pounds. There is also a metric scale as well. Look for other versions listed, some variations are scaled in foot pounds and make sure you get one that covers the max torque you might need. I purchased both 3/8 and 1/2 drive versions and have been very happy with them. Note, make sure you set them back to minimum torque values during storage to keep the calibration.

Thank you for your message John. I would like to direct you to Health-O-Meter to answer your question regarding the calibration process. Their Tech Support division can be reached at 800-638-3722. They can assist you regarding any questions you may have on recalibration. The scale can be used on carpet, but I would recommend placing something underneath the scale to stabilize it like a piece of plywood. Please let me know if you need any additional assistance. Thank you very much!

The scale must be calibrated for accuracy. Directions are provided in the user's guide to calibrate the machine.

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

It comes with maybe a ketchup packet worth of calibration solution which will calibrate initially. You can go about a month without calibrating. It falls off a point or 2 by then.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

I did not have to calibrate it but I can only speak for myself. I use it to ship out first class items or 1-3 pound items. When I get a reading of 4.5 ounces, I send out package at 5 ounces. I've never had an item weigh too much. Hope that helps.

Jonathan, depending on the model of your calibrator, the measurements on this soft case are 9.5x5.9x2.9 inches. We bought it for a Fluke C115. If you want bigger space and not tight fitting you might consider a Fluke C35 Soft Case (10.9x6.8x2.6inches) it is what we had originally bought but was too spacious and we returned it for a C90 soft case which is a tighter fitting. Hope this helps.

No this scale is too small for packages. Also regardless of the scale you decide to buy make sure you buy the tools for calibration such as the weight units

No. You cannot calibrate the size. They are like cookie cutters. Hand operated.

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 calibration weight may vary by the model of the scale. Mine is a Blade - 1KG. It uses a 500g calibration weight. Look in your owners manual. If yours specifies 500 and it's "asking" for 1000, it may be defective.

I tested the scale with 1 sheet of 8.5x11 of paper. It did not show any measurement. With two sheets it read .006kg and .2oz, with three sheets .0010kg and .3 oz, hope that helps. The scale will calibrate and zero itself every time you turn it on. I'm happy with my purchase. I measure letters and packages on it.
