Description
Test weight KERN 317-16 is a single OIML class E2 calibration weight with a nominal mass of 50 kg. Manufactured in knob form from polished stainless steel according to OIML specifications, it functions as a high-precision reference mass for the verification and adjustment of heavy-duty laboratory and industrial weighing instruments. The polished stainless steel material delivers a durable, easy-to-clean surface that maintains stability under repeated use in metrology environments. This individual 50 kg weight is intended for applications requiring class E2 accuracy, supporting reliable scale checks, quality-assurance routines and measurement-traceability programmes. Supplied by manufacturer Kern as a single piece, the knob-style weight offers secure handling and precise placement on large weighing platforms. Its OIML-conformant construction ensures consistent performance for professional calibration laboratories, production facilities and service organisations that depend on accurate high-capacity reference standards. The 50 kg E2 class mass is therefore suitable for maintaining the correctness of balances used in industrial weighing, bulk-material control and regulatory compliance testing where robust yet precise calibration tools are essential.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 317-16
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 317-16 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern 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.
