• Ensuring accuracy of weighing instruments in quality control laboratories for food and beverage production.
• Verifying the performance of scales in chemical processing and material science.
• Routine calibration checks in metrology laboratories and accredited testing facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

This specific unit is 4KG; for this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from milligrams up to 20KG.

Material

Typically high-grade stainless steel (e.g., Troemner Alloy 8) for corrosion resistance and stability.

Design

Cylindrical shape, often with a protective case for handling and storage.

Density

Commonly around 7.95 g/cm³ at 20°C for stainless steel weights.

Tolerance

Varies by ASTM class; for instance, ASTM Class 3 weights typically have tighter tolerances suitable for calibrating balances with readability as low as 0.01 g to 0.001 g.

Certification

Often supplied with ISO/IEC 17025 accredited certificates or traceable certificates.
