Description
Aluminium-protected case KERN 317-010-600 is a protective housing designed specifically for single calibration weights of button or compact form in the 1 g range. The aluminium exterior shields the enclosed weight against mechanical impact, dust and handling damage during transport or storage between calibration sessions. Intended as an accessory for precision test weights, the case helps preserve surface finish and mass integrity of OIML-class reference standards used in laboratory balance verification. Its compact construction matches the small footprint of 1 g button and compact weights, allowing secure placement without excess bulk. Laboratories that maintain individual high-accuracy weights benefit from dedicated protection that reduces the risk of scratches or contamination. Produced by manufacturer Kern, this aluminium-protected case complements matching single-weight sets and supports organised, safe storage of metrological reference pieces. Suitable for quality-control, pharmaceutical and research environments where careful handling of calibration masses is essential to maintain measurement reliability over extended service life.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Aluminium Protective Box KERN, 317-010-600
What is this article?
Aluminium Protective Box KERN, 317-010-600 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.
