Description
Block weight M1 is a single test weight intended for calibration and verification work in laboratory and industrial weighing environments. This unit belongs to the M1 individual-weight series covering nominal values from 5 kg to 50 kg and is supplied at a nominal mass of 50 kg. Constructed from grey cast iron with a black lacquered surface, the block form provides a robust, stable geometry suited to routine handling on larger balances and scales. Net weight is specified as 50,000 kg, with a corresponding gross weight of 67,000 kg for the packed item. Offered as one piece from manufacturer Sartorius, the weight supports standardised mass checks where M1 accuracy class is required. Its solid cast-iron body and protective lacquer finish help maintain dimensional integrity under normal laboratory or workshop conditions. The product is classified among test weights and is non-sterile, making it appropriate for general metrological use rather than sterile process areas. Clear identification of class, material and mass facilitates selection alongside other reference weights in the same series.

Questions about Block Weight 50 kg, OIML M1, DAkkS
What is this article?
Block Weight 50 kg, OIML M1, DAkkS 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.
