Weighing Metrology Guide

By Alisa Lupia on April 7, 2017

Understanding Weighing

A Grocer’s Guide to Metrology

Most people are familiar with a weighing scale. The bathroom scale is probably the most familiar.  We all understand the basics of using a scale. You put an object on a scale and it returns a weight value.  But did you know that there is a science of weighing called Metrology?  If your business depends on scales, the science of metrology becomes important, as it helps you maintain a dependable and accurate weighing device.

METTLER TOLEDO recently published a small guide titled “Understanding Weighing – A Grocer’s Guide to Metrology”.  This guide explains some of the terminology associated with retail weighing, and the importance of each term as it applies to day-to-day business.  While geared toward Grocers, this guide is helpful to anyone using a weighing device.  The terms apply to any scale, whether it is used to weighing chemicals, packages of screws, or fruit.

The guide covers several weighing terms including:

·         Accuracy

·         Accuracy Class

·         Linearity

·         Load Cell

·         Corner Load

·         Repeatability

·         Temperature Stability

·         Scale Intervals

·         Dual Interval Scales

·         Tare

·         Verification

·         Hysteresis

·         Sensitivity

·         Geolocation

·         Precision vs. Accuracy

·         Calibration
