Once the system is installed, calibration can be used to assess its measurement performance against known reference values. Businesses should ensure that the platform is properly supported and that the load cells, wiring, indicator, and mechanical components are correctly installed before testing. Site conditions such as drainage, vehicle access, foundation stability, and environmental exposure can influence operation.
If the weighbridge is intended for commercial trade, calibration should be distinguished from the applicable legal verification process. UNBS has legal-metrology responsibilities relating to weighing instruments used in trade. Ugandan businesses can request a complete project quotation covering installation, testing, calibration support, and any additional technical services required for commissioning the vehicle weighing system.
