Description
Weight basket 50 kg OIML class M1 is a standardised carrier for control weights used to verify high-capacity floor scales, pallet scales, weighing pallet trucks and crane scales. Adjusted to OIML class M1 with a tolerance of ±2,5 mg, the basket itself contributes a precisely known mass and simultaneously stores the test weights. It accepts configurations such as 20 × 10 kg or 10 × 20 kg control weights, allowing a maximum total load of 250 kg including the basket. Placing basket and weights together onto the scale in one step saves time and reduces handling errors during routine checks. This accessory from manufacturer Kern is supplied as a single unit and is intended for industrial metrology, logistics centres and service technicians who calibrate heavy-duty weighing systems. The robust construction supports repeated loading cycles while maintaining M1 accuracy. Other OIML accuracy classes are available on request for specialised applications.

Questions about Weight container KERN 347-052-010
What is this article?
Weight container KERN 347-052-010 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.
