Eccentric Loading Test (Eccentricity) With External Test Weights

In many laboratories, weighing is a critical process. To ensure reliable weighing results, laboratory balances must operate within defined tolerance limits. For this reason, regular routine testing is essential. An eccentric loading test (sometimes referred to as eccentricity) with external test weights is one of the recommended tests to ensure and document that the balance is working correctly.

This operating procedure describes how to perform an eccentric loading test with external test weights.
