Description
Test weight KERN 347-151 is an individual control weight built to OIML class M1 for accurate verification and calibration of balances and scales. This 20 kg nominal single weight is produced from finely turned stainless steel according to OIML requirements and offers a stackable form that simplifies storage and organised handling of multiple units. The robust stainless-steel construction delivers corrosion resistance and dimensional stability needed for repeated laboratory and industrial use. Supplied as one piece from manufacturer Kern, the weight supports routine quality-control checks, metrology work and production-line monitoring where reliable mass standards are essential. Its carefully machined surface maintains the tight tolerances of class M1 while allowing secure stacking without loss of measurement integrity. Net and gross mass both correspond to the stated 20 kg value, making the unit a practical reference for ensuring instrument compliance and measurement traceability in scientific, technical and industrial environments that demand consistent performance from control weights.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 347-151
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 347-151 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.
Which category should I open next?
