Description
Individual weight is an E2-class single test weight intended for accurate balance verification and calibration in laboratory and industrial settings. The piece is made of special steel that is high-gloss polished, non-magnetizable and highly corrosion-resistant, with a stated density of 8,0 g/cm³ for consistent mass behaviour. It forms part of the E2 individual-weight series covering 1 g to 50 kg from manufacturer Sartorius. Weights up to 20 g are packed in a plastic box; from 50 g upward they are supplied in a wooden case to safeguard the polished finish. Net weight is 0,002 kg and gross weight is 0,130 kg, providing a compact unit for everyday metrology work that calls for E2 tolerances. The non-magnetizable material reduces the risk of magnetic influence on sensitive weighing systems, while high corrosion resistance supports reliable service life in typical laboratory atmospheres. Produced in Germany (Lower Saxony), this individual weight is suited to professional test-weight use in quality assurance, instrument service and routine calibration procedures.

Questions about Knob Weight 2 g, OIML E2, DAkkS
What is this article?
Knob Weight 2 g, OIML E2, DAkkS is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius for laboratory use. It sits in Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
These are the draft shields, the pans, the ionisers, the printers and the calibration certificates that belong to a balance. A certificate states the errors found at stated loads. It does not make a different balance correct.
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.
