Description
Test weight KERN 338-06 is a precision milligram calibration weight of OIML accuracy class F2 with a nominal mass of 50 mg. Formed as a polished stainless steel leaf (Plättchen), it is intended for verification and adjustment of analytical and precision balances in laboratory environments. The compact plate geometry supports controlled handling of small masses during routine metrological checks. This weight from manufacturer Kern is manufactured to OIML requirements and suits quality-assurance and calibration workflows in pharmaceutical, chemical, research and industrial laboratories. Polished stainless steel construction offers a stable, corrosion-resistant surface under normal laboratory conditions. With its defined F2 class, the 50 mg nominal weight addresses intermediate precision needs between higher-accuracy and general-purpose OIML classes. Laboratories employ such test weights to confirm that balance performance remains within acceptable limits over time. The single-piece unit integrates readily into existing calibration sets and quality-management systems focused on traceable mass measurement at the milligram level.
This article belongs on Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 338-06
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 338-06 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.
