SOP of Calibration of Balance

This document provides guidelines for calibrating a single pan balance. It outlines responsibilities for calibration, preparation steps like ensuring a stable environment, and the calibration procedure which involves weighing calibrated weights and recording the observed weights to determine accuracy. The results are reported in a table comparing observed weights to actual calibrated weights.

Calibration of Single Pan Balance

1.0  PURPOSE

      The purpose of the standard operating procedure is to provide guidelines for calibration of

Single Pan Balance.

2.0  SCOPE

       The scope of this standard operating procedure includes calibration of Single Pan Balance.

3.0  RESPONSIBILITY

3.1  Section In charge

3.2  Technical Manager

3.3  Q.A. Manager

4.0   PROCEDURE

4.1       PRECAUTION BEFORE CALIBRATION:


      4.1.1  Ensure that the analytical balance used for weighing should be levelled at zero levelling and

is supported on a vibration free rigid table base.

4.1.2    Ensure that a consistent ambient or fixed room temperature is    maintained.

There should be no movement of air or air from ceiling fan etc.

4.1.3    Ensure cleanliness of the analytical balance.

4.2       APPARATUS REQUIRED FOR CALIBRATION:

4.2.1    Calibrated weight box traceable to either NPL or NABL accredited laboratory.

4.2.2    Ensure that the calibrated set of weights is clean and free from any dust particles and

any type of  deformity.

4.3       CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:

4.3.1   Weigh one by one the standard calibrated set of weights on the balance and record the

weights as indicated on the balance.

4.3.2   Repeat the weighing of each set of weights at least two to three times to ensure greater

accuracy and reproducibility.

4.3.3   Ensure the precision and accuracy of weighing. 

 
4.4      REPORTING

4.4.1   From the assigned weights of the standard set of weights correlate the accuracy of the

weights observed on the balance under calibration.

4.4.2   Make a table for the observed weight on balance of the standard weights, and the actual

calibrated weight of the set of weights.

4.4.3  The average of the weights shall be reported same as digits displayed on the balance screen.
