Description
Block weight M2 is a single test weight for verification and calibration tasks on balances and scales in laboratory and industrial use. It is specified in accuracy class M2 with a nominal mass of 50 kg, corresponding to the upper end of the M2 single-weight range from 5 kg to 50 kg. The weight is manufactured from grey cast iron and coated with a black lacquer finish for practical, long-term handling. Its compact block shape ensures stable positioning on weighing platforms during performance tests, adjustments and routine quality checks. Net weight is 50,000 kg and gross weight is 55,000 kg; supply unit is 1 pc. Available from manufacturer Sartorius, this M2 block weight serves facilities that maintain class M2 reference masses for larger instruments. Grey cast iron delivers the mechanical robustness expected of heavy single weights in everyday metrology work. Deploy it for periodic scale testing, service workflows and compliance-oriented weighing control where M2 tolerances are specified.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Block Weight 50 kg, OIML M2
What is this article?
Block Weight 50 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.
