FAQ
Yes. In Canada, any scale used to determine the price or sell cannabis products by weight must comply with the Weights and Measures Act. As an authorized service provider recognized by Measurement Canada, Papp Scales sells, inspects, and certifies Class II precision balances (such as the Ohaus Scout SJX or A&D FX-i series), ensuring immediate legal compliance for your dispensary or processing facility.
Retail and Bagging (0.01 g / 10 mg): Class II precision balances with a 0.01 g verification scale interval represent the standard recommended by Measurement Canada for weighing dried flower up to 1 kg.
Laboratories and Concentrates (0.001 g to 0.0001 g): Analytical microbalances are essential for cannabinoid testing, extract formulation, and rosin/resin processing where the slightest milligram affects legal dosing.
Grow Rooms and Harvesting (0.1 kg to several hundred kg): Washdown platform scales (IP65/IP67 rated) are used to weigh raw harvests, wet biomass, and raw material barrels.
The residual moisture content is critical for preventing mold while preserving terpenes. A moisture analyzer (moisture balance) such as the Ohaus MB23 rapidly heats the sample using infrared technology to accurately determine the water percentage in buds or trim, allowing producers to achieve the optimal 10% to 12% target range prior to packaging.
Yes. Class II balances are extremely sensitive to variations in local gravity, leveling, and slight environmental fluctuations. Moving an instrument from one room to another or changing tables can distort measurements. Papp Scales provides on-site calibration services as well as certified weight sets to keep your balances compliant with inspection requirements.
In addition to equipment sales, Les Balances Papp Inc. provides comprehensive service: issuance of traceable calibration certificates compliant with GMP/ISO, official Measurement Canada inspections, warranty repairs, and preventive maintenance. Our technicians service equipment on-site or at our Saint-Laurent shop to keep your production downtime to an absolute minimum.
