Description
Test weight KERN 347-03 is an individual OIML class M1 calibration weight with a nominal mass of 5 g, shaped as a knob weight and manufactured from finely turned stainless steel to OIML specifications. This single mass standard enables precise verification and adjustment of analytical and precision balances that require M1 accuracy. The knob geometry allows convenient placement and removal on weighing pans, while the finely machined stainless-steel construction delivers long-term dimensional stability and resistance to wear. Ideal for routine calibration, quality-assurance protocols and traceable mass checks in laboratory or industrial settings, the weight functions either as a standalone reference or as part of a larger set. Supplied as one piece from manufacturer Kern, it supports consistent metrological performance across repeated use cycles. Compact dimensions and OIML-compliant finish ensure compatibility with standard weight-handling practices and storage solutions used in professional weighing environments.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 347-03
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 347-03 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?
