5. Place the test mass on the Balance, record the weight and remove.
6. Place Load 3 on the Balance and press TARE.
7. Place the test mass on the Balance and record the weight.
8. The difference in the weights of the test mass should be within the tolerance in Table 4-2. If
the differences are out of tolerance, verify the test conditions and repeat the test.
9. If the Balance remains out of tolerance, the Load Cell may need to be replaced.
4.4.4 Off-Center Load Test
The Off-Center Load Test is used to determine whether displayed weight values are affected by
moving the sample to different areas of the Pan. OCL test may also be referred to as a Shift Test
(NTEP) or an Eccentricity Test (OIML).
The test weight used in this test 1/3 the capacity of the balance. See table for the test weight
values.
TABLE 4-4 OFF CENTER LOAD MASS VALUES
1. The class of the weight used in
OCL testing is not critical.
2. Use large weights where
possible. Smaller weights can be
stacked on the larger but a stability
problem may occur if many
smaller weights are used. If
weights cannot be stacked they
must be placed uniformly over the
segment.
