Allometrics provides scale calibration services for pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food & beverage, aerospace, and industrial facilities nationwide. Since 1976, our laboratory has delivered NIST traceable and ISO 17025 accredited calibration for weighing scales. Both service levels provide the measurement traceability your operations require and documentation your quality program needs.
Your weighing instruments are the foundation of accurate formulations, quality control decisions, and regulatory compliance. When scales drift out of tolerance, every measurement becomes questionable. When calibration documentation doesn’t meet auditor expectations, your entire quality system comes under review. We understand these pressures because we’ve built our reputation on eliminating them.
Our A2LA accredited laboratory and nationwide field service teams deliver flexible solutions that minimize downtime while maintaining calibration integrity. Whether you ship instruments to our facility or require onsite service, 50 years of metrology expertise backs every calibration we perform.
Weighing Scales We Calibrate
We provide NIST traceable results and documented measurement uncertainty for a wide range of weighing instruments. [1]
Platform Scales
Floor-mounted weighing systems for material receiving, production batching, and shipping verification.
Bench Scales
Workstation weighing instruments used in production areas, quality control labs, and packaging operations.
Precision Scales
High-resolution weighing instruments for quality control testing and formulation verification where measurement accuracy directly affects product specifications.
Counting Scales
Inventory management and parts counting instruments where accuracy impacts material planning and cost control.
We calibrate scales from all major manufacturers including Rice Lake Weighing Systems, Ohaus, and others. If your scale type or manufacturer isn’t listed here, we likely service it. Contact us at (281) 474-3329 to verify we can calibrate your specific equipment.
We Provide Scale Calibration Services for a Variety of Industries
We provide scale calibration services for organizations where measurement accuracy affects product quality, operational efficiency, and compliance documentation.
Pharmaceutical: Active ingredient weighing, excipient batching, and quality control testing where measurement accuracy affects formulation specifications and product consistency.
Petrochemical: Batch formulation, additive measurement, and sample preparation for refineries and chemical processing facilities.
Food & Beverage: Ingredient receiving, recipe formulation, packaging verification, and net weight compliance for processors and bottling operations.
Industrial Manufacturing: Production weighing, material verification, and shipping documentation across metals, plastics, and general manufacturing sectors.
Aerospace: Component verification and material control for manufacturers serving commercial and defense aviation sectors.
Research & Development: Laboratory weighing for academic institutions, government facilities, and private research organizations where documented measurement integrity supports data quality.
Environmental: Sample preparation and testing for laboratories supporting environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance programs.
Why Quality Managers Choose Allometrics for Scale Calibration
A2LA ISO 17025 Accreditation You Can Trust
Our laboratory holds A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the international standard for calibration laboratory competence. [2] This isn’t just a certificate on the wall. Independent assessors verify our technical procedures, measurement uncertainty calculations, and quality management systems annually. When auditors review your calibration records, our accreditation demonstrates you’ve chosen a qualified provider.
50 Years of Metrology Expertise
Since 1976, we’ve provided calibration services to regulated industries across the United States. Our technicians bring decades of combined experience calibrating weighing instruments in pharmaceutical plants, food processing facilities, chemical manufacturers, and research laboratories. We’ve seen every calibration challenge these industries present, and we know how to deliver results that satisfy both technical requirements and business realities.
Nationwide Calibration Services with World-Class Support
We serve facilities across the United States from our Webster, Texas laboratory. Our field service teams travel to customer sites nationwide, bringing scale calibration capabilities that minimize production disruption. When you call, you speak with calibration professionals who understand your urgency, not a call center reading from scripts.
Documentation That Satisfies Auditors
Our calibration certificates include measurement uncertainty values, traceability statements, accreditation logos, and all technical data auditors expect to see. We know what FDA inspectors, ISO auditors, and quality system assessors look for because we’ve supported customers through countless audits. Our documentation protects your quality system from calibration-related findings.
Field Service That Prioritizes Your Operations
We understand that sending scales offsite for calibration disrupts production schedules, inventory management, and shipping operations. Our field calibration services bring ISO 17025 accredited capabilities to your facility. We work around your production schedules, complete service efficiently, and provide preliminary certificates before leaving your site.
Understanding Scale Calibration Requirements
What is Scale Calibration?
Scale calibration verifies a weighing instrument’s accuracy against known measurement standards and documents its performance. Our technicians test your scale at specific points across its measurement range using calibrated reference standards. We compare the scale’s displayed values against known weight values and calculate measurement uncertainty. If the scale performs within acceptable tolerances, we document its accuracy. If readings fall outside specifications, we identify the discrepancy and discuss corrective options with you.
Benefits of Professional Scale Calibration
Protect Product Quality and Compliance
- Maintain accurate batch formulations and recipe consistency
- Avoid rework and material waste from measurement errors
- Prevent customer complaints from incorrect shipping weights
- Support audit readiness with proper documentation
Reduce Operational Costs
- Eliminate supplier disputes over incoming material weights
- Prevent regulatory findings that disrupt operations
- Minimize production delays from unexpected equipment failures
- Avoid expensive material waste from out-of-specification batches
Risks of Neglecting Scale Calibration
Quality and Compliance Issues
- Incorrect formulations affecting product specifications
- Failed audits due to missing or inadequate calibration records
- Regulatory actions from net weight violations
- Product recalls from measurement-related quality failures
Operational and Financial Impact
- Production delays when out-of-specification scales must be pulled from service
- Material waste when inaccurate scales throw batch formulations off target
- Billing disputes with suppliers and customers over weight discrepancies
- Loss of customer confidence and damaged brand reputation
