Description
Weight, 10 kg, OIML M3 is an individual scale calibration weight designed for verification and routine calibration of laboratory and industrial balances. This OIML class M3 mass standard is manufactured from stainless steel and supplied in a protective sleeve that helps maintain surface condition during handling, storage and transport. With a nominal value of 10 kg it serves as a practical reference for higher-capacity weighing systems, while the net weight of 10,369 kg characterises the complete packaged unit. The weight is suitable for quality-control checks, production environments and service applications where OIML M3 accuracy class is required. Offered by Ohaus, it forms part of the series of OIML individual scale calibration weights spanning 1 g to 10 kg, all produced from stainless steel and delivered with protective packaging. The durable stainless-steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under normal laboratory conditions. Supplied as a single piece, this calibration weight provides a reliable physical mass standard for confirming the performance of balances and scales in accordance with OIML recommendations for everyday metrology and industrial weighing tasks.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Weight, 10kg, OIML M3, OH
What is this article?
Weight, 10kg, OIML M3, OH is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus 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.
