Description
Wire weight E2 is an individual test weight for the milligram range from 1 mg to 500 mg, used in balance checking and laboratory calibration workflows. Constructed from non-magnetisable special steel with a density of 8,0 g/cm³, it combines high corrosion resistance with low magnetic susceptibility for reliable reference handling. The wire geometry suits small single weights applied when verifying analytical balances and related weighing systems. Delivered as 1 pc in a plastic box, the weight is shielded during storage and movement between workstations. From manufacturer Sartorius, this E2 class piece supports metrology and quality-assurance tasks that call for corrosion-resistant special-steel test masses. Net weight is 0,001 kg. Typical use includes routine scale testing, reference-mass procedures and controlled laboratory verification rather than process weighing. Stable density and non-magnetisable material properties help the weight perform consistently under standard laboratory conditions. High corrosion resistance aids surface integrity with careful handling. The article is positioned in the test-weights category for calibration and verification applications across analytical and research environments.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Wire Weight 10 mg, OIML E2
What is this article?
Wire Weight 10 mg, OIML E2 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius 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.
Which category should I open next?
