Free guide to weight scale calibration

UK: The IoR has released a new Good Practice Guide to refrigerant weight scale calibration, which is free to download for a limited period.

Good Practice Guide 69 outlines how scales are used for measuring refrigerant weights in cylinders and how they need to be calibrated regularly to ensure that they give correct readings.

This is only one of the publications available to members of the IoR’s Service Engineer’s Section. As well as allowing subscribers to gain access to free publication downloads, membership of the Service Engineer’s Section also receive four postal mailings a year with good practice guides, tool box talks and newsletters, a free torque tool and an annual CPD Certificate as evidence of their commitment to developing their technical knowledge through the IOR.
