Are these calibrated before they are shipped?

All I can tell you is that the BAFX decibel meter worked very well. I assume it was calibrated upon receipt.

According to directions it is well calibrated before shipment and recommends recalibration cycle of one year. Directions tell you how to recalibrate. Seems to be working for me/

Hello, These are already pre-made and are at amazon ready to be shipped. Thanks

Yes because the device calibrates it to match a standard calibration. So what you see is what other's see when they have also calibrated. Therefore it will calibrate them all to the same standard.

No calibration needed, although it is always a good idea to test when you have not had any alcohol to make sure it reads zero at that time. Remember, it is not meant to be as accurate as the equipment used by the sheriffs. It is a way to keep yourself in check when you are out drinking.

Yes they were. It must be an oversight. Most Manufacturers will send missing parts if contacted. Try this first before returning and possibly paying shipping cost.

I don't understand the question, but regarding accuracy of readings, I have no other calibrated instrument with which to check the accuracy of the readings displayed with this product. Generally, they appear to be reasonable based on published noise decibel readings.

No delay that I noticed. If you are planning on using these in with a home theater receiver with built in room calibration, the calibration will fix any delay. If there is delay, the calibration will just think the speaker is farther away when it calculates speaker distances.

No, there is no indication of what they are when they are shipped. If you open it, it will be in the box shown in the photo though.

I don't know why you would require certification but these gauges are not NIST certified. You can calibrate them, though using a dead weight tester and the adjustment screw in the face of the gauge.

No, I ordered these and they are perfect! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J0B3K2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes I think they are, I bought them for that purpose and mine have shipped internationally without any problems.

Its always good to have a calibration weight just in case its jarred or dropped during shipping, as this will throw the calibration way off. Or if you want, use an american dollar bill or a jefferson nickel as these will weigh 1.0 and 0.5 respectively. I own one of these, bought it about 5 months ago. Its a lot smaller than it looks but the calibration was dead on accurate despite its cheap price and small size.

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.

I do not believe this unit required calibration. I checked it against some 1 to 4 oz letters I had and it registered correctly. I have used this for up to 13 oz, including flats, and have sent a lot of mail using it. So far, no issues. Good unit for the price.

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

Hi Alex,That does mean that it can be calibrated. We also have a video to walk you through the process see it here. http://youtu.be/uN5Xrm3CPEw
