Description
The 500 g OIML M1 weight is an individual scale calibration weight for checking and adjusting balances in laboratory and industrial settings. Built to OIML M1 accuracy class, it provides a defined reference mass for routine verification, quality control and periodic performance checks on weighing instruments. This weight type is made from aluminium, copper, nickel-plated copper or stainless steel, materials selected for dimensional stability and durable surface finish under normal laboratory handling. Each piece is supplied in an individual protective case that helps shield the working surfaces during storage and transport. From manufacturer Ohaus, the unit belongs to the OIML individual scale calibration weights range and is intended for single-piece use on calibration benches, incoming-goods inspection and balance maintenance programmes. Nominal mass is 500 g, with a stated net weight of 0,582 kg. The compact one-piece format simplifies inventory, handling and integration into existing weight sets and standard operating procedures across analytical, production and teaching environments where dependable mass references are required.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Weight, 500g, OIML M1, OH
What is this article?
Weight, 500g, OIML M1, 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.
