Description
Test weight KERN 346-78-2023a is a single test weight of OIML class M1 with a nominal mass of 20 kg. Realised in the Block Eco form, this calibration weight is manufactured from painted cast iron to combine mechanical robustness with a protective surface finish suitable for repeated handling. The individual weight configuration supports direct use in the verification, adjustment and routine checking of balances and scales according to the accuracy requirements of OIML class M1. Its compact block geometry facilitates stable placement on weighing platforms while remaining practical for laboratory and industrial calibration benches. Produced by manufacturer Kern, the 20 kg Block Eco weight provides a durable reference mass for quality-control and metrological workflows. Supplied as one piece, it offers a straightforward solution wherever a reliable M1-class cast-iron test weight of this capacity is required for instrument validation and ongoing performance monitoring.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 346-78-2023a
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 346-78-2023a 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.
