This 5 kg calibration weight serves as a fundamental standard for verifying the performance of industrial scales, bench scales, and other weighing instruments in laboratory, quality control, and metrology settings. Its adherence to ASTM Class 3 specifications provides a known, reliable mass value, giving users confidence in their measurement processes and helping to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
The weight is carefully packaged as a complete kit, including a durable storage case and a handling glove. The inclusion of the glove is critical, as it prevents oils and contaminants from the skin from affecting the weight's mass, preserving its accuracy over time. The sealed adjustment cavity allows for factory-level calibration and maintenance of the specified tolerance, ensuring long-term stability.
This individual weight is ideal for routine testing, spot-checking scale performance at key points, or as a component within a larger mass set. The clear marking of its nominal value allows for fast, error-free selection in busy work environments.
