Typical capacity

This specific unit is 2kg. For this class of equipment, individual weights commonly range from 1mg to 20kg.

OIML Class

This unit is OIML Class F1. Other units of this type are commonly found in classes E1, E2, F1, F2, M1, M2, and M3, indicating varying levels of precision.

Material

Typically, these weights are made from high-grade stainless steel, often polished and non-magnetisable for stability and corrosion resistance.

Density

Commonly, the density for stainless steel weights is around 8.0 g/cm³, crucial for accurate air buoyancy correction.

Storage

Units of this type are typically supplied with a protective case to prevent damage and contamination.

• What is OIML Class F1 and why is it important?

  OIML Class F1 specifies the maximum permissible error for a weight. It is important for applications requiring high precision, such as calibrating analytical balances and scales used in quality control or pharmaceutical production, ensuring consistent and accurate measurements.

• Can this weight be used for calibrating any type of balance?

• What maintenance is required for calibration weights?

• Is the protective case included with the weight?

• What does 'non-magnetisable' mean for 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.
