Description
Individual weight F1 is a precision test weight for calibration, adjustment and routine verification of laboratory and industrial balances. It belongs to the F1 programme spanning nominal values from 1 mg to 10 kg and is supplied as a single piece for metrology and quality-control workflows. Within this range, masses up to 500 mg are realised as plate weights: aluminium constructions with a density of 2,7 g/cm³, nickel-silver plate weights with a density of 8,7 g/cm³, and non-magnetisable special-steel plate weights from 10 mg to 500 mg with a density of 8,0 g/cm³ and high corrosion resistance. Knob weights in the series are high-gloss polished and presented in a wooden case as part of the F1 offering from manufacturer Sartorius. Offered as 1 pc(s) with a net weight of 0,001 kg, this individual weight supports intermediate checks where stable F1-class reference mass is required. The combination of defined density materials, non-magnetisable special steel and carefully finished surfaces helps maintain reliable mass values under normal laboratory handling, making the weight a practical reference component for balance testing and quality systems that specify F1 accuracy.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Leaf Weight 1 mg, OIML F1, DAkkS
What is this article?
Leaf Weight 1 mg, OIML F1, 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?
