Description
Cylinder calibration weight is a precision reference mass for verification and adjustment of laboratory balances and scales. Made from special steel that is high-gloss polished, non-magnetizable and highly corrosion-resistant, it has a density of 8,0 g/cm³. This 2 kg unit is supplied in a protective plastic box that shields the polished surface during storage and transport between calibration tasks. The cylinder geometry supports stable placement on weighing pans and repeatable handling in metrology and quality-control work. Material choice and surface finish promote long-term dimensional stability under routine laboratory conditions. Available as a single piece from manufacturer Sartorius, the weight belongs to a cylinder series covering 1 g to 2 kg and suits analytical, industrial and service environments that need reliable mass standards. Net mass is 2,000 kg, with a gross packaged mass of 2,400 kg reflecting the enclosure. Laboratories performing balance qualification, periodic performance checks and instrument commissioning benefit from the corrosion resistance and non-magnetic behaviour for consistent results. The polished special-steel construction also helps limit surface contamination that could influence weighing accuracy over repeated use.

Questions about Cylindrical Weight 2 kg, OIML E2
What is this article?
Cylindrical Weight 2 kg, OIML E2 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?
