Description
Test weight KERN 366-86 is a single 5 kg block weight of OIML class M3 intended for verification and calibration of balances and scales. Manufactured from painted cast iron (malleable cast iron), the rectangular block form provides a stable, durable reference mass for routine metrological checks. The nominal weight of 5 kg meets class M3 tolerance requirements and is suitable for industrial, laboratory and quality-assurance environments where reliable mass standards are needed. The painted surface offers basic corrosion protection during normal handling and storage. This individual weight from manufacturer Kern is supplied as one piece and can be used for periodic performance testing of weighing instruments within the appropriate accuracy range. Its compact block geometry facilitates easy placement on weighing pans while maintaining the specified metrological characteristics for class M3 applications.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 366-86
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 366-86 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.
