Description
Wire weight, F1 class, is a compact precision test weight designed for calibration and verification tasks on laboratory balances. Within the F1 programme from 1 mg to 10 kg, masses up to 500 mg are produced as leaf or wire-style pieces according to denomination. Materials include aluminium with a density of 2,7 g/cm³, nickel silver at 8,7 g/cm³ for selected small values, and non-magnetisable special steel at 8,0 g/cm³ for 10 mg to 500 mg pieces, offering high corrosion resistance. Knob weights in the broader line are high-gloss polished, and the assortment is presented in a wooden case. This single wire weight (Sartorius) is supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,001 kg, suited to fine-range checks where a slender form factor eases placement on small weighing pans. Non-magnetisable special steel reduces magnetic coupling risks during sensitive measurements, while defined densities support traceable mass comparison. Typical laboratory use includes intermediate balance tests, adjustment support, and everyday reference handling in controlled weighing environments that demand stable F1 performance without unnecessary accessories.

Questions about Wire Weight 100 mg, OIML F1
What is this article?
Wire Weight 100 mg, OIML F1 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.
