  2. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

    Supermarket scales can print labels and receipts, mark mass and count, unit price, total price and in some cases tare. Some modern supermarket scales print an RFID tag that can be used to track the item for tampering or returns. In most cases, these types of scales have a sealed calibration so that the reading on the display is correct and ...

  3. Check weigher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_weigher

    It is usual for a built-in computer to take many weight readings from the transducer over the time that the package is on the weigh bed to ensure an accurate weight reading. Calibration is critical. A lab scale, which usually is in an isolated chamber pressurized with dry nitrogen (pressurized at sea level) can weigh an object within plus or ...

  4. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...

    To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Measuring and alignment tools | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Measuring and alignment tools | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

  6. Calibration (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration_(statistics)

    There are two main uses of the term calibration in statistics that denote special types of statistical inference problems. Calibration can mean a reverse process to regression, where instead of a future dependent variable being predicted from known explanatory variables, a known observation of the dependent variables is used to predict a corresponding explanatory variable; [1]

  7. Truck scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_scale

    A truck scale (US), weighbridge (non-US) or railroad scale is a large set of scales, usually mounted permanently on a concrete foundation, that is used to weigh entire rail or road vehicles and their contents. By weighing the vehicle both empty and when loaded, the load carried by the vehicle can be calculated.

  8. Go/no-go gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go/no-go_gauge

    A pair of go and no-go gauges. A go/no-go gauge is an inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances via a go/no-go test. Its name is derived from two tests: the check involves the workpiece having to pass one test (go) and fail the other (no-go).

  9. Vernier scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

    So for a vernier with a constant of 0.1, each mark on the vernier is spaced 9/10 of those on the main scale. If you put the two scales together with zero points aligned, the first mark on the vernier scale is 1/10 short of the first main scale mark, the second is 2/10 short, and so on up to the ninth mark, which is misaligned by 9/10.
