This is a reference tool. The factors are the exact defined values, but a
conversion is not a measurement. For anything that matters — a legal-for-trade
transaction, a calibration certificate, a shipment weight, a safety limit — use the
reading from a scale that is correctly calibrated for that job, and confirm the units
the specification actually requires.
Need the scale itself checked?
The directory lists service and calibration companies across the United States and Canada, with the authority that licenses each one.
