What is the significance of OIML Class E2?

OIML Class E2 weights offer very high accuracy, making them suitable for calibrating analytical balances with a readability of 0.01 mg to 0.1 mg. They are essential for applications requiring precise measurements.

Does this weight require a calibration certificate?

While the unit is in full working condition, for compliance with international standards or internal quality systems (e.g., ISO 17025, GLP, GMP), a current DAkkS or UKAS calibration certificate is often required. This is typically an optional extra.

How should calibration weights be stored?

Calibration weights should be stored in their protective cases in a clean, stable environment, away from dust, temperature fluctuations, and magnetic fields. This helps maintain their accuracy and surface integrity.

What is the typical lifespan of a calibration weight?

With proper handling, storage, and regular recalibration, a high-quality stainless steel calibration weight can last for many years. Its lifespan is more about maintaining its certified accuracy than physical degradation.

Can this weight be used in a cleanroom environment?

Yes, weights constructed from polished, non-magnetizable stainless steel, like this unit, are generally suitable for use in cleanroom environments due to their resistance to corrosion and minimal particle shedding.
