What does OIML Class F1 mean?

OIML Class F1 specifies the maximum permissible error for a weight. F1 weights are suitable for calibrating high-precision balances and for use as reference standards in quality control.

Is this weight suitable for my specific balance?

The suitability depends on the accuracy requirements of your balance and your calibration procedure. Always refer to your balance's manual for recommended calibration weight classes.

How should I handle and store calibration weights?

Calibration weights should be handled with clean gloves or forceps to avoid contamination and fingerprints. They should be stored in their protective case in a stable, clean environment to maintain their accuracy.

Can this weight be re-calibrated?

Yes, calibration weights can and should be periodically re-calibrated by an accredited laboratory to ensure their continued accuracy and compliance with quality standards.

What is the significance of 'non-magnetizable' material?

Non-magnetizable material prevents magnetic interactions with the balance, which could introduce errors into the weighing result, especially with highly sensitive instruments.
