Sartorius YCW653-00 F1 5KG Weight

• Used for routine calibration and adjustment of precision balances and scales in laboratories.
• Essential for quality control checks in manufacturing to ensure accurate product weighing.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for verifying measurement instrument accuracy.
• Applied in research and development settings for precise experimental weighing validation.

Weight Class

F1, indicating high precision suitable for calibrating analytical and precision balances.

Nominal Mass

5 kg, as specified in the model name.

Material

Typically made from high-grade stainless steel to ensure stability and corrosion resistance.

Construction

Monobloc construction is common for this class, reducing potential for material accumulation or wear.

Traceability

Units of this type are commonly supplied with a calibration certificate, traceable to national standards.

Surface Finish

A polished or satin finish is typical to minimise surface area and potential for contamination.

• What does 'F1' mean for a calibration weight?

  F1 is a class designation from OIML R 111, indicating a high-precision weight suitable for calibrating analytical balances and precision balances with a readability of 0.001g to 0.01g.

• How often should calibration weights be re-calibrated?

• Can this weight be used with any brand of balance?

• What is the typical care and maintenance for a calibration weight?

• Is a calibration certificate included with used weights?

Calibration weights and kits are essential for maintaining measurement accuracy across laboratories, biotech and pharmaceutical facilities. Buyers typically prioritise certified traceability, material quality and condition of surface finish when purchasing used sets. Industry sentiment favours equipment from established manufacturers with documented calibration history. Common strengths include durability and long operational lifespan when properly stored. When buying used, verify calibration certificates, inspect for corrosion or damage, and confirm all weights in the set are present and accounted for.
