Class F1 100g Weight

Applications & Use Cases

• Calibration of analytical balances and precision scales in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• Verification of weighing instruments in quality control departments.
• Use in research and development settings requiring high accuracy mass measurement.
• Calibration of other Class F2 weights and lower accuracy classes.
• Metrology laboratories for maintaining traceability standards.

Typical Specifications

Nominal Mass

100g, as specified for this unit.

Accuracy Class

Class F1, indicating high precision for calibration and verification tasks.

Material

Typically high-grade stainless steel, as stated for this unit, offering corrosion resistance and stability.

Density

Commonly around 7,950 kg/m³ for stainless steel F1 weights, as per OIML standards.

Tolerance Limit

For this class, tolerances are typically very tight, in the order of ±0.05 mg for a 100g weight, as defined by OIML R 111-1.

Surface Finish

Polished or satin finish to minimise contamination and wear.

Packaging

Individual weights are commonly supplied in a protective wooden or plastic case to prevent damage and maintain cleanliness.
