Description
M2 block weight is a single test weight for routine calibration and functional checks of balances and scales in laboratory and industrial settings. It belongs to the M2 single-weight range from 5 kg to 50 kg and is made of grey cast iron with a black lacquered finish that withstands regular handling. Net weight is 5,000 kg and gross weight is 5,800 kg; supply is as 1 pc, so the piece can be issued directly to the weighing station or service kit. The block shape provides a stable footprint on platforms during adjustment, incoming inspection and periodic control where M2 class accuracy is acceptable. From manufacturer Sartorius, this cast-iron mass is a practical reference for workflows that need a durable mid-range weight without additional fixtures. Applications include production-floor scale checks, workshop verification of weighing equipment and quality-control laboratories that operate to M2 tolerances. The black lacquered grey-cast-iron body combines mechanical robustness with a finish suited to everyday professional use. Non-sterile by design, the article is intended for conventional dry laboratory and industrial environments rather than sterile or cleanroom applications.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Block Weight 5 kg, OIML M2, DAkkS
What is this article?
Block Weight 5 kg, OIML M2, DAkkS is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius for laboratory use. It sits in Calibration & test weights, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A test weight is a mass of a stated class, used to check a balance. The class sets the tolerance. A weight that is dirty, or that has been handled with bare fingers, is no longer that class. The certificate ties the weight to a standard.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
