I have a set already, but the suppliers of balances should be able to tell you.

Hi All,

Just a word of warning,

The calibration masses could be a little pricey..

Cheers,

I have about 3 electronic balances, but MY (prep room) one is the only one that can be calibrated with a generic "Standard Weight" (I have an ASA 200g weight) the other scales require their own special weights to standardise with, which I do not have.

My scale is an A&D 300g scale (made in Korea) and I tell it what weight my standard is, and it adjusts to that. The other scales will only accept a particular weight supplied by the manufacturer.

regards
Ian :-)
