Description
Test weight KERN 318-06 is a precision milligram weight of accuracy class E2 with a nominal mass of 50 mg. Formed as a flat plate from polished stainless steel and produced to OIML requirements, it provides a stable reference mass for verification and adjustment of analytical and precision balances. The plate geometry allows convenient placement on weighing pans while the polished surface supports clean handling and long-term mass stability. This single unit is intended for routine calibration checks, quality-control routines and metrological traceability work in laboratory environments. The nominal weight of 0,00005 kg corresponds exactly to 50 mg, matching the E2 tolerance class for fine-scale applications. Constructed entirely from polished stainless steel, the weight resists corrosion under normal laboratory conditions and retains its calibrated value when stored and used correctly. Offered by manufacturer Kern as a ready-to-use milligram plate, the KERN 318-06 integrates easily into existing weight sets or can be employed individually. Its compact form and defined OIML-compliant characteristics make it a practical choice for laboratories requiring reliable E2-class milligram references.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 318-06
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 318-06 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern 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?
