Sartorius F1 10KG Cylindrical Calibration Weight

• Calibration of laboratory balances and industrial scales.
• Verification of weighing instrument accuracy in quality control processes.
• Testing of load cells and weighing systems in manufacturing.
• Reference standard for metrology laboratories.
• Adjustment of precision weighing equipment.

Typical capacity

This unit is 10 kg; other F1 class weights commonly range from 1 mg to 20 kg.

Accuracy class

F1 class, indicating high precision suitable for calibrating analytical balances and industrial scales with moderate resolution.

Material

Typically high-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and stability.

Construction

Cylindrical with a flat top, designed for stable placement and minimal air disturbance.

Adjustability

Some F1 class weights feature an adjustment cavity for fine-tuning, though this is less common on solid 10 kg units.

Traceability

Often supplied with a calibration certificate traceable to national standards, though buyers should confirm this with the seller for this specific unit.

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

  F1 is an OIML (International Organisation of Legal Metrology) accuracy class. It signifies a high level of precision, suitable for calibrating and verifying balances with a readability of 0.01g up to 0.1g, or industrial scales requiring precise verification.

• Is a calibration certificate included with used weights?

• How should calibration weights be stored and handled?

• Can this weight be used for legal metrology applications?

• What is the typical lifespan of a calibration weight?

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.
