KERN 315-246 tweezers — stainless steel with bent plastic tips

The KERN 315-246 is a 130 mm tweezers designed for safe and precise handling of small test weights in calibration and workshop environments

• Stainless steel body with premium plastic tips
• Bent tips for precise grip of small weights
• 130 mm length for secure handling
• Suitable for test weights ≤ 5 g (Classes E1–M3)

Precise handling for delicate test weights

The combination of bent tips and high-quality plastic tips delivers a controlled contact surface that prevents slipping and avoids marking delicate weights. This design makes the tool ideal for manipulation of test masses up to 5 g, including high-accuracy classes E1–M3, where minimal surface contact and repeatability are essential. A curved tip geometry improves visibility at the point of contact, reducing handling time and the risk of measurement deviations in routine calibration tasks. The build supports accurate pick-up and placement, ensuring repeatable handling in laboratory and workshop workflows.

Robust construction that limits contamination and wear

Manufactured from stainless steel, the tweezers resist corrosion and stand up to frequent cleaning without loss of form. The plastic tips act as a barrier between metal and weight surface, lowering the chance of scratches or contamination that could alter a mass value. With a light overall mass of 0.02 kg, the instrument is easy to manoeuvre, enabling steady operation without introducing torque or pressure that might disturb fragile artefacts. These properties together contribute to more reliable measurement results and a longer service life for both the accessory and the weights it handles.

Ergonomic length and geometry to streamline workflow

At 130 mm overall length, the tweezers offer a balanced reach for handling weights in pans and small receptacles while keeping the operator’s fingers clear of the weighing area. The bent tip profile provides a natural angle for picking up tiny masses and placing them precisely on a balance pan, reducing contact time and the risk of error. For calibration technicians and metrology professionals, this means fewer handling cycles and improved throughput during verification procedures. The tool’s design therefore supports operational efficiency and helps maintain measurement integrity across repeated tasks.

FAQ

Are these tweezers suitable for laboratory calibration of small weights?
Yes. The KERN 315-246 tweezers are designed for handling test weights up to 5 g and are suitable for use with accuracy classes E1–M3 in calibration environments.

What materials are used in the construction of the tweezers?
The tweezers feature a stainless steel body with premium plastic tips, providing corrosion resistance and protection for delicate weight surfaces.

How does the bent-tip design improve handling?
Bent tips allow a clearer line of sight to the weight and a more ergonomic grip angle, reducing handling time and the risk of contact-related errors when placing masses on a balance pan.

Can the plastic tips be replaced if worn?
The design uses high-quality plastic tips to protect weights; if replacement is required, check with Metav Werkzeuge for compatible tip options and availability for the KERN 315-246.

Is the tweezers suitable for use outside of calibration labs, for example in workshops?
Yes. Its robust stainless steel construction and protective tips make it appropriate for precision tasks in both calibration laboratories and workshop settings where careful handling of small masses is required.
