Description
Wire weight F1 is a fine-mass test weight designed for calibration and verification tasks on analytical and precision balances. It forms part of the F1 weight programme covering 1 mg to 10 kg, in which values up to 500 mg are produced as plate or wire-style pieces according to the nominal mass. Material options within the series include aluminium plate weights with a density of 2,7 g/cm³, nickel-silver plate weights with a density of 8,7 g/cm³, and non-magnetisable special-steel pieces from 10 mg to 500 mg with a density of 8,0 g/cm³ and high corrosion resistance. Knob weights in the broader F1 range are high-gloss polished and supplied in a wooden case, reflecting the finishing standard associated with this line from manufacturer Sartorius. This wire weight is supplied as 1 pc with a net weight of 0,001 kg, suited to fine reference work and intermediate balance checks. Defined densities, non-magnetisable special steel and corrosion-resistant construction support stable metrological behaviour in routine laboratory use, helping quality systems maintain traceable F1-class mass standards for adjustment and performance verification.
This article is part of Calibration & test weights, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Wire Weight 1 mg, OIML F1
What is this article?
Wire Weight 1 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 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.
Which category should I open next?
