Description
F1 plate weight is an individual calibration weight for the range from 1 mg to 500 mg, designed for laboratory balance checks and fine mass metrology. According to the manufacturer data, the series uses aluminium with a density of 2,7 g/cm³, while plate weights from 1 mg to 5 mg are made of nickel silver (Neusilber) with a density of 8,7 g/cm³; plate weights from 10 mg to 500 mg complete the range, and each piece is supplied in a plastic box. This plate-form single weight from manufacturer Sartorius offers a flat geometry that is practical for handling small denominations on weighing pans and in organised weight kits. The plastic box supports clean storage and reduces the risk of surface damage between calibration sessions. With a net article weight of 0,001 kg, the format fits milligram-range plate weights used in analytical and quality-control laboratories. Ideal where F1-class individual plate weights in aluminium or nickel silver are specified for routine verification, set completion or dedicated reference work beside precision balances.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Leaf Weight 1 mg, OIML F1
What is this article?
Leaf Weight 1 mg, OIML F1 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.
