Calibration Errors
Some errors are caused because the weighing equipment is not calibrated correctly.
When there is a calibration error (see Figure 3-2), the counts-to-load ratio is still a
straight line, as it was in the ideal scale. But the line does not reach 100 percent of the
counts at full load. The relationship between the weight and the counts is linear but not
correct. This is usually caused by an error in the electrical calibration of the scale and
can be corrected by recalibrating the scale.
