Description
Wire weight E1 is a precision single weight intended for high-accuracy laboratory calibration work in the range from 1 mg to 500 mg. The piece is manufactured from non-magnetisable special steel with a density of 8,0 g/cm³ and high corrosion resistance, supporting stable mass behaviour during repeated handling and balance checks. Packaged as one piece in a plastic box, it is suited to controlled storage and transport between weighing stations. This E1-class wire weight from manufacturer Sartorius is designed for metrology and quality laboratories that rely on individual reference masses rather than full sets when verifying analytical or microbalance performance. Net weight is 0,001 kg. The non-magnetisable special-steel construction and corrosion-resistant finish help preserve surface integrity and mass stability under routine laboratory conditions, making the weight a practical choice for E1-level verification tasks within established calibration procedures.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Wire Weight 500 mg, OIML E1
What is this article?
Wire Weight 500 mg, OIML E1 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius 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.
Which category should I open next?
