Description
Test weight KERN 348-08 is a precision milligram calibration weight intended for verifying and adjusting analytical balances and laboratory scales. It belongs to OIML accuracy class M1 and carries a nominal mass of 200 mg (0,0002 kg). Formed as a thin leaf or plate (Plättchen) from polished stainless steel, the weight offers corrosion resistance, dimensional stability and convenient handling on balance pans. This construction from manufacturer Kern follows OIML recommendations for test weights, supporting routine performance checks of high-resolution weighing instruments. The compact leaf geometry suits fine-range calibration work in research, pharmaceutical quality control and industrial metrology laboratories. A polished surface simplifies cleaning and helps preserve the nominal value over repeated use. Supplied as a single piece, the weight assists laboratories in maintaining measurement reliability and supporting quality-assurance procedures that require class M1 mass standards for daily analytical workflows and instrument verification.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 348-08
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 348-08 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.
