Abstract This article consolidates and organizes modern methods for calibrating relative gravimeters, aiming to streamline the selection and implementation of effective calibration systems, particularly in Kazakhstan. The concept of the calibration function and various methods for its determination are presented. Practical implementations of laboratory methods relevant to modern high-precision relative gravimeters are discussed, including the tilt, moving mass, artificial acceleration, and line calibration methods. Data processing through least squares adjustment at the calibration line and an overview of existing software packages for gravity observation equalization are explored. The article also covers existing horizontal and vertical calibration systems in different countries, detailing their main characteristics and schematics. Finally, an estimation of scale factors for five years of measurements with Scintrex CG-5 gravimeters at the Zhetygen calibration line in Kazakhstan is provided.
