Description
Block weight M1, 100 kg is an individual test weight for calibration and verification of high-capacity balances and industrial scales. It is produced as a solid block from grey cast iron with a black lacquered finish, giving a durable surface suited to repeated handling in metrology and quality-control environments. The nominal net mass is 100 kg (gross weight 115 kg), placing this unit in the M1 single-weight range covering 100 kg to 1000 kg. Designed as a standalone block rather than a multi-piece kit, it supports routine checks of platform scales, floor scales and other heavy-duty weighing systems where an M1 reference mass is required. The cast construction and protective lacquer help maintain dimensional stability and surface integrity during transport and use. Offered as one piece from manufacturer Sartorius, this block weight is intended for laboratories, workshops and production sites that need a robust, large-format individual weight for periodic performance testing and adjustment workflows without additional accessories.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Block Weight 100 kg, OIML M1
What is this article?
Block Weight 100 kg, OIML M1 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.
