Description
Plastic weight case KERN 347-130-400 is a protective housing designed specifically for single weights of the knob or compact type at the 5 kg level. The sturdy plastic construction shields the enclosed test weight from dust, impact and contamination during storage and transport. This dedicated etui keeps the precision mass secure when not in active use, helping to preserve surface finish and calibration integrity between verification sessions. Intended as an accessory for individual 5 kg weights, the case accommodates the typical dimensions of knob-style and compact designs. Offered as a single unit, it provides a practical storage solution for laboratories and industrial metrology stations that maintain separate reference masses. Produced by manufacturer Kern, the 347-130-400 model matches the form factor required for 5 kg single weights of the indicated styles. Its lightweight plastic body is easy to handle yet sufficiently rigid to offer reliable protection. The case contributes to organised weight management by giving each mass its own dedicated enclosure, reducing the risk of mix-ups or accidental damage. Net mass of the empty case is low, ensuring convenient everyday use alongside the corresponding test weight.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Plastic Weight Box KERN 347-130-400
What is this article?
Plastic Weight Box KERN 347-130-400 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.
