Description
The 5 g OIML M3 weight is an individual scale calibration weight intended for the verification and calibration of balances and scales. Manufactured from stainless steel, this mass piece meets the requirements of the OIML M3 accuracy class and supports reliable performance checks in laboratory and industrial environments. Weights ranging from 1 g to 10 kg, including this model from manufacturer Ohaus, are supplied in a protective sleeve that safeguards the surface during storage and handling. The compact design without display devices makes it straightforward to use for routine testing procedures. With a nominal value of 5 g, a net weight of 0,025 kg and a gross weight of 0,025 kg, the piece is offered as a single unit. It is applied in quality assurance workflows, metrology departments and any setting where OIML-compliant test weights of class M3 are specified for scale adjustment and performance confirmation. The stainless steel construction offers durability for repeated use under controlled laboratory conditions while remaining easy to handle and store between calibration cycles.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Weight, 5g, OIML M3, OH
What is this article?
Weight, 5g, OIML M3, OH is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus for laboratory use. It sits in Calibration & test weights, inside Balances & scales, in Instruments de laboratoire.
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.
