Description
Test weight class F1, stainless steel, 5 g ± 0,15 mg, is a precision mass standard intended for checking and adjusting laboratory balances that require class F1 performance. Fabricated from stainless steel with a nominal value of 5 g and a tolerance of ± 0,15 mg, it enables reliable intermediate verification and routine quality control of weighing instruments. Design and metrological intent align with the recommendations of OIML R-111. Each weight is supplied with an individual case for protection during storage and handling; a calibration certificate is not included. The single-piece unit has a net weight of 0,005 kg and is well suited to analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical QC and general laboratory metrology. This test weight from manufacturer Labbox offers a durable, corrosion-resistant reference mass for daily balance control on the bench or in a weighing room. Use it wherever class F1 stainless-steel weights are specified to maintain traceable, reproducible weighing results without interrupting workflow for external service visits.

Questions about Precision weight, stainless steel, class F1, 5 g ± 0,15 mg
What is this article?
Precision weight, stainless steel, class F1, 5 g ± 0,15 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox 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.
