KERN 315-274 Weight Handle — plastic-coated accessory for 5 kg calibration weights

The KERN 315-274 weight handle is a plastic-coated handling tool designed for secure lifting and placement of 5 kg calibration button weights in classes E1 to M3, optimised for metrology benches and calibration labs

• Plastic-coated weight handle
• Designed for 5 kg calibration weights
• Not for use with cast iron weights

Secure handling for calibration routines

A tailored accessory for calibration tasks, the weight handle offers a plastic-coated contact surface that protects the finish of precision weights and prevents marking during transfers. Compatibility with 5 kg button weights in Class E1–M3 ensures the tool matches common legal-for-trade and laboratory standards, allowing technicians to keep calibration processes consistent. The protected grip reduces surface contamination and minimises the need for re-cleaning or corrective handling after each measurement.

Faster, more ergonomic workflows at the bench

The handle’s lightweight construction (approx. 0.1 kg) and ergonomic shape support repeated use during batch calibrations, cutting handling time and reducing operator fatigue. Built for repetitive tasks in production metrology and service environments, the accessory simplifies weight pick-up and placement, contributing to smoother workflows and improved throughput without compromising accuracy. The ergonomic design also helps maintain steady placement, lowering the risk of accidental shocks to delicate balances.

Clear compatibility and safe-use guidance

Specified for button weights with a nominal value of 5 kg and suitability across Class E1–M3, the tool is not intended for use with cast weights or irregular-shaped masses. Cast iron and non-button forms can present uneven contact or porosity that undermines secure gripping and may damage the coating or the weight itself. Understanding these limits helps preserve measurement integrity and extends the service life of both weights and handling tools.

Low maintenance, durable protection for precision tools

The plastic coating offers corrosion resistance and allows quick maintenance: surfaces are easily wiped clean with suitable, non-abrasive cleaners, reducing downtime between calibration cycles. The simple construction minimises wear points and supports stable performance over repeated use. For workshops that prioritise consistent measurement quality, this accessory offers a practical balance of protection, usability, and reliable daily performance.
