Description
M2 block weight is a single test weight intended for calibration and verification of balances and scales in laboratory and industrial settings. It forms part of the M2 individual-weight series spanning 5 kg to 50 kg and is produced from grey cast iron with a black lacquered coating. This piece has a net weight of 20,000 kg and comes as 1 pc, providing a solid block format suited to larger mass values where M2 accuracy class is specified. Grey cast iron delivers a robust body for regular handling, and the black lacquer supports surface protection during storage, transport and day-to-day use at the workstation. Packaged gross weight is 24,000 kg. Common uses include quality-control checks, production weighing verification, metrology support and routine instrument testing whenever an M2 class reference mass is required. The block shape aids stable positioning on the weighing pan and clear organisation within test-weight collections. Supplied from manufacturer Sartorius, the weight fits established test-weight procedures in analytical, technical and industrial laboratories that rely on dependable cast-iron M2 standards.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Block Weight 20 kg, OIML M2
What is this article?
Block Weight 20 kg, OIML M2 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.
