Adam Equipment calibration and service

We calibrate Adam balances and scales in our Cypress, TX shop, priced by capacity:

A scale whose capacity is exactly at a tier limit uses the lower tier.

MNM Scales is TDA licensed with registered technicians for all scale classes, so NTEP Adam models such as the WBW aM and RAV Da can be placed in service for trade use in Texas.

Adam Equipment brand FAQ

Where is Adam Equipment from?

Adam Equipment was founded in England in 1972 and is headquartered in Milton Keynes, with a U.S. office in Oxford, Connecticut.

Which Adam scales are legal for trade?

Models marked NTEP, such as the WBW aM washdown scales and the RAV Da price computing scales, are approved for trade use once placed in service.

Which Adam scale is best for a classroom?

The ACB and AQT compact scales are light, simple to use and run on batteries, which makes them easy to share between lab benches.

Does the PGW 2502i need calibration weights?

The i in PGW 2502i stands for internal calibration, so the balance calibrates itself with a built-in weight. A periodic check with a certified weight is still good practice.
