Description
Weight set KERN 318-22 is a milligram precision weight set in OIML accuracy class E2 covering the range from 1 mg to 500 mg. The individual weights are supplied as polished stainless-steel plates that meet OIML recommendations and are housed in a protective plastic case for organised storage and safe transport. This configuration is intended for the calibration, verification and adjustment of analytical balances, microbalances and other precision weighing instruments in laboratory, pharmaceutical and industrial environments. The plate form facilitates handling of the smaller denominations while preserving the tight tolerances required by class E2. Packaged as one complete set from manufacturer Kern, the assortment enables multi-point checks across the low-mass range. With a net weight of 0,10 kg and compact outer dimensions, the set is convenient both for permanent bench use and for portable calibration kits. Laboratories rely on such OIML-compliant reference masses to maintain measurement integrity and support routine quality-assurance procedures.

Questions about Weight Set KERN 318-22
What is this article?
Weight Set KERN 318-22 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.
