Description
Wire weight class E2 is a calibration mass produced from non-magnetizable special steel with a density of 8,0 g/cm³ and high corrosion resistance. Within E2 weight sets spanning 1 mg to 10 kg, pieces up to 500 mg are supplied as wire weights, while larger knob weights are high-gloss polished; the assembly is presented in a wooden case. This wire-style test weight supports laboratory balance verification, routine checks and mass comparison where class E2 performance is specified. Non-magnetic special steel reduces the risk of magnetic interference during weighing and maintains dimensional stability under normal laboratory conditions. Available from manufacturer Sartorius, the weight is intended for calibration labs, quality-control units and research facilities that need durable reference masses for instrument qualification. The wooden case protects surfaces during storage and transport and keeps the set organised between uses. Suitable for documented metrology workflows, the Drahtgewicht format offers a practical, corrosion-resistant option for everyday balance testing and mass standards handling on the laboratory bench.

Questions about Wire Weight 5 mg, OIML E2, DAkkS
What is this article?
Wire Weight 5 mg, OIML E2, DAkkS 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?
