KERN 317-13 — 5 kg calibration weight, OIML E2, polished stainless steel
The KERN 317-13 is a 5 kg OIML E2 calibration weight designed for precise verification of laboratory and workshop scales, featuring a polished stainless-steel finish and ergonomic knob shape.
- OIML class E2 accuracy
- 5 kg nominal mass with knob shape
- Polished stainless steel surface
- Tight tolerance: 8 mg
Achieve consistent measurement accuracy in routine workflows
The weight delivers traceable accuracy thanks to its OIML E2 classification and a rated tolerance of 8 mg, ensuring repeatable calibration results for mid-range laboratory and commercial scales. The nominal mass of 5 kg provides a reliable reference point for verification cycles and instrument checks, reducing uncertainty in measurement chains. Using a standardised reference simplifies documentation and supports quality-control procedures in production and testing environments.
Practical handling that speeds up calibration tasks
An integrated knob shape improves grip and placement, permitting safe and efficient handling during frequent use. The compact cylindrical dimensions (80 × 140 mm) combine with the knob design to reduce the risk of accidental contact with the weighing surface, lowering the chance of contamination or damage. This ergonomic detail shortens handling time during routine checks and contributes to smoother calibration workflows.
Durable material for long service life and cleanliness
Manufactured from polished stainless steel, the mass resists corrosion and is easy to clean, supporting hygienic conditions in laboratory and industrial environments. The surface finish reduces particle adhesion and simplifies visual inspection. The material choice ensures longevity even under regular use, which in turn reduces replacement frequency and supports sustainable workshop operations.
Compliance, calibration options and recommended accessories
Legal first-verification by EU type approval will not be possible after 30 November 2025; therefore a traceable calibration such as DAkkS calibration is recommended for most applications to maintain documented measurement reliability. For secure transport and to protect the reference mass from dings and contamination, a protective case is advised. The product supports standard calibration and verification routines and integrates into existing quality-management systems.
