Scale Calibration vs Repair: A Houston Shop Guide

The live service page is /scale-calibration-houston. This post explains the difference between calibration and repair so you can request the right job.


All Scales USA, 21249 FM 529 Rd, Cypress, TX. (832) 766-5410 · (281) 656-2666 · (832) 290-3120. pete@allscales.com.


What calibration does

Calibration compares what the scale shows to a known reference. If the scale is mechanically sound, the technician can adjust it so the display matches the reference. That is a measurement check, not a parts swap.


What repair does

Repair fixes a fault: a load cell that will not repeat, a cut cable, a dead indicator, a platform that rubs the frame, moisture in a junction box. After the fault is gone, the scale still needs to be checked against a reference.


When shops mix the two up

A scale that will not zero, that drifts, or that disagrees corner to corner is often a repair first. Paying for a calibration on a broken cell wastes the visit. Send photos and the error code so we can say which job it looks like.


What we will not claim here

  • We do not claim ISO/IEC 17025 or A2LA

  • We do not publish hours, years in business, or a county radius on this page

  • We do not treat on-site vs in-shop as a fixed policy here — say whether the scale can move

  • We do not do truck scales, pit scales, axle scales, or livestock weighbridges


Common gear we service and sell: floor scales, crane scales, S-type crane kits, and NTEP Legal for Trade equipment.

What to send

Make, model, capacity, whether it can be moved, location, legal-for-trade need, rental need, and photos. House crane kits are MNM Scales kits; send the capacity if that is what you have.


Then use the live page: Request Houston calibration.
