Essential tool for proper weight-handling and user protection.
Prevents hand residue from impacting a weight’s calibration and certification.
Cotton gloves are recommended by Rice Lake for handling all precision weights.
Nitrile gloves provide an economical, disposable, and convenient barrier.
Maintains the integrity of your weights better than handling bare-handed.
Handling precision weights without proper protection introduces oils, moisture, and microscopic contaminants from the skin. This residue can directly affect a weight's mass and surface characteristics, potentially compromising its calibrated accuracy and NIST-traceable certification. To mitigate this risk, Rice Lake specifically recommends the use of cotton gloves as the primary tool for weight handling. These gloves provide a secure, non-slip grip while forming a protective barrier that keeps weights clean and unaltered.
For applications requiring a different balance of protection and practicality, nitrile gloves serve as an excellent alternative. They are an acceptable and effective handling tool that keeps dirt and residue off your precision masses. As a disposable option, they offer significant convenience for high-throughput environments or when handling particularly sensitive weight sets. Whether you choose the reusability of cotton or the disposability of nitrile, using either type is fundamentally superior to bare-handed contact, ensuring the long-term integrity and reliability of your critical mass standards.
