Description
Calibration weight in class E2 is a precision individual mass standard for laboratory calibration and balance verification. It forms part of the E2 individual weight series from 1 g to 50 kg, manufactured in special steel that is high-gloss polished, non-magnetizable and highly corrosion-resistant, with a density of 8,0 g/cm³. Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,050 kg, the weight is suited to routine verification of analytical and precision balances and to metrological reference work. Manufacturer Sartorius specifies plastic-box packaging for weights up to 20 g and a wooden case for units from 50 g. The non-magnetizable, corrosion-resistant special-steel construction is appropriate for laboratory conditions where magnetic effects and surface degradation must be controlled. Class E2 calibration weights are applied in quality control, instrument qualification and ongoing performance checks of weighing systems. The high-gloss finish supports easy cleaning and inspection prior to use in professional laboratory and industrial weighing applications.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Cylindrical Weight 50 g, OIML E2, DAkkS
What is this article?
Cylindrical Weight 50 g, OIML E2, 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.
Which category should I open next?
