How to Achieve Accurate Weighing
Accurate weighing depends not only on the performance of the balance but also on proper operation of the balance and proper control of sources of error.
In high-precision weighing, even slight environmental changes can significantly affect accuracy.
Major error sources include the installation environment, the sample, the container, and the weighing procedure.
This document clearly explains the major sources of error and the corresponding countermeasures.
