Weighbridge and Industrial Scale Calibration and Maintenance

Weighbridges and industrial scales sit at the point where African mines, farms and factories measure value, so accuracy directly affects revenue and disputes. This programme builds practical skills to maintain and calibrate weighing systems, from load cells and junction boxes to indicators and software. Participants learn to diagnose drift and faults and to keep weighing equipment accurate and trusted.
