Description
Test weight KERN 357-08 is a single OIML class M2 calibration weight with a nominal mass of 200 g. Supplied in knob form and manufactured from fine-turned stainless steel to OIML requirements, it serves as a reliable reference mass for routine verification and adjustment of laboratory and industrial balances. The robust yet compact design facilitates secure handling during daily quality-control checks, educational use and metrology tasks that specify medium-accuracy class M2 performance. Produced by manufacturer Kern, the weight combines corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a precision-machined surface that maintains consistent density and long-term dimensional stability. Its 200 g rating makes it particularly useful for calibrating precision and technical balances across pharmaceutical, materials-testing and general laboratory applications. The single-piece unit is ready for immediate deployment and integrates smoothly into existing weight sets or standalone verification protocols. Fine-turned stainless steel construction further ensures dependable performance under repeated handling while preserving the geometric and surface characteristics demanded by the OIML M2 standard.

Questions about Test Weight KERN 357-08
What is this article?
Test Weight KERN 357-08 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.
