FAQ
 
We currently own several Mechanical Dial scales. How can we get quicker and more accurate readings using these scales?
Our solution is economical and improves scale resolution. We remove the existing dial section, attach the correct rated load-cell to the stilyard rod, and then attach, terminate and calibrate an electronic weighing indicator. This saves the cost of a "new" scale base. If the old scale was for instance 1000lbs. x 1lbs. , the new system will now read 1000lbs. x .1lbs.
We have our own process for testing most of our equipment, i.e.; block gauges, micrometers and some scaling equipment. Do we need certified weights to perform verifications on our scales?
Depending on how your current scope or process is set up, it may be necessary to have calibrated/certified weights on site to assist in your documentation for internal as well as external audits. It also depends on the capacity and classification of the scales.
We have several electronic scale indicators that are used in our production areas. We would like to get the weight information sent to our computers or printers. Can this be done?
Typically, if a scale indicator or balance has the means of sending/receiving data via an RS-232/20ma port, the information can be sent and extracted to a peripheral such as a printer or computer. Some software may be required to depending on the serial string being sent or received. In almost all cases, if the scale has a port, then this is possible.
We have multiple tanks/hopper systems. Do we need one scale indicator per system?
No. We have the capability to hook multiple systems to one indicator. We utilize integrated A/D cards in the system to read each scale and assign scale identification numbers. You can have as many as eight scales to one indicator. Calip-One can then link other scale systems to this system and integrate all the data to a computer or other types of peripherals.
Does Calip-One provide Intrinsic safe and/or explosion proof scale equipment?
Yes, we carry a full line of IS and XP equipment. We get confirmed classification of the area and quote the equipment that will best suit the application. Calip-One follows Factory Mutual (FM) obligations and installation procedures to the letter.
Does Calip-One sell and service Analytical or Top Loader balances?
Yes, beyond the industrial side of scales, we offer a full line of Analytical and top load balances for laboratory applications. We are highly trained in the service/repair and calibration sectors of this business.
Does Calip-One, Inc. supply rental scales?
Yes, we support a full line of counting, straight weigh or multiple scale systems to meet your needs and requirements. We require a minimum of 3 days for the order. We ensure that you will have your rental on time and calibrated.
Our Company requires ISO Documentation for calibrations. Does Calip-One provide this type of service?
Absolutely! We are an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Company. Not only do we provide the required documentation, we also provide a binder that carries all the documentation for ISO Quality Assurance Departments. This is a real benefit for the client, assessment auditor and Calip-One. See our Technical Documents section in this Website for examples of "Scale Data Certificates" and "Standard Calibration
Reports".
Will we need to call and schedule each inspection or calibration once we have a Service Agreement with Calip-One?
No. We have a system in place that flags us 1-2 weeks in advance for scheduled inspections. As a courtesy we will call you and schedule the work so there is no interruption in production schedules.
If we have an emergency service call, what is your response time?
We are proud of our average response time of 1 hour and 11 minutes. At worst, it will be the same day as the call came in. We are open 7 days, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
