Description
Test weight KERN 316-14 is a high-precision single weight designed for the calibration and verification of analytical and precision balances. With a nominal weight of 10 kg and classified to OIML class E2, it meets stringent international standards for mass metrology. The weight is produced in a compact form from polished stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to wear, corrosion and environmental influences that could affect measurement accuracy. This construction, conforming to OIML specifications, ensures the long-term stability of the nominal mass value essential for reliable testing procedures. Available as one piece from manufacturer Kern, the test weight is particularly suited for laboratories, quality assurance departments and calibration services that require E2-level accuracy. Its compact shape allows convenient handling during daily checks of weighing instruments while minimizing the risk of damage. The polished surface further aids in maintaining cleanliness and reducing contamination risks in controlled environments. Whether used for routine performance verification or formal calibration workflows, this stainless steel test weight delivers consistent performance in demanding scientific and industrial applications.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 316-14
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 316-14 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.
