We have a 5000kg scale on which we weigh a maximum of 2000kg. We only calibrate is to 3000kg because we don't go over 2000kg

The reason for the max weight identifcation would be to ensure that the operator doesn't go and weight anything over the max calibrated weight

If the something is not your product, even it is over max calibrated weight, what would be problem ?

we have a ± tolerance that we need to keep within and if we happen to weigh a product over the calibrated weight, let's say 4000kg when the calibrated weight is 3000kg then the we won't know if we will meet the uncertainty of scale

if the 4000kg part is your product, when you plan the control (as 7.1), you must consider which gauge is suitable. at that stage , you will find this scale is not suitable. ( in TS, we need cross function team).

if the 4000kg is not your product, no problem.

sure i agree, but my original question was - if it was necessary to identify the scale with the maximmum allowed weight to be weighed. The reason for this was to ensure that the operator would know not to weigh anything over the calibrated weight of the scale, thus ensuring that we always have the confidence that what weigh is in fact correct

Please don't misunderstand me. I definately appreciate your comments and I'm sure that people reading this forum will also see what we on about.

All your help is appreciated:agree:

People are welcome to disagree with me, but I believe it is okay to calibrate for specific use, in this case a certain weight range. I would just identify the scale's limits with some kind of marking as a :ca: measure: weight range made acceptable based on calibrations in that range.

"Use for weights between ___ and ___"

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for the reply. This is pretty much what I was looking at doing. The main thing for me to ensure that the operator needs to understand what the internal scale limits are, in this case 3000kg and not the full 5000kg.

I appreciate everyones input so far. It's good to see that there are people out there who are willing to share their experience and expertise. :thanx:
