text: Some scales can be calibrated to read in units of force (weight) such as newtons instead of units of mass such as kilograms.
text: The scale was calibrated by defining a magnitude 3 shock as one that produces (at a distance of 100 km (62 mi)) a maximum amplitude of 1 micron (1 µm, or 0.001 millimeters) on a seismogram recorded by a Wood–Anderson torsion seismograph.
text: All scales ideally need to be calibrated when first placed into service to insure accurate operation.
