Description
Cylindrical calibration weight is a precision test mass for verifying and calibrating laboratory and industrial balances. It belongs to the cylindrical weight series covering nominal values from 1 g to 2 kg and is produced from special steel that is high-gloss polished, non-magnetizable and highly corrosion-resistant, with a density of 8,0 g/cm³. These material and surface properties support stable mass behaviour and clean handling in routine metrology work. Supplied as a single piece in a protective plastic box, the weight is well suited to quality-control, research and production environments where reliable reference masses are required. The design from manufacturer Sartorius emphasises dimensional integrity and resistance to magnetic interference, helping maintain calibration confidence over repeated use. The polished finish facilitates inspection and cleaning between applications, while the plastic box provides secure storage and transport. This cylindrical form factor is a practical choice for balance verification workflows that demand durable, corrosion-resistant test weights with clearly defined physical characteristics.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Cylindrical Weight 5 kg, OIML E2, DAkkS
What is this article?
Cylindrical Weight 5 kg, OIML E2, DAkkS 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?
