KERN 346-080-600 Aluminium-protected case for block weights, padded

The Aluminium-protected case 346-080-600 is a padded transport and storage solution designed for block calibration weights used in laboratory and industrial environments.

• Aluminium protection housing
• Padded interior for secure storage
• Designed for block weights up to 20 kg
• Suitable for weight classes F1–M3

Robust protection that preserves calibration integrity

This lightweight aluminium housing combines structural rigidity with reduced mass, creating a reliable shell for sensitive calibration artefacts. The internal padding secures each block against shocks and vibrations, lowering the risk of dents or surface damage that could alter mass distribution and affect accuracy. For metrology departments and service technicians, a well-protected weight reduces the frequency of re-calibration and associated downtime. The transport case is engineered to match the handling patterns typical for laboratories and mobile calibration services, translating to measurable savings in time and maintenance costs.

Designed for calibration workflows and secure handling

The case is tailored for block weights, offering precise cut-outs and cushioned support to prevent movement during handling and transit. By ensuring that each weight remains immobile, the case helps maintain the declared tolerance class throughout storage and transport. Compatibility with F1–M3 tolerance classes indicates suitability for a broad range of calibration tasks, from precision laboratories to routine verification in production environments. The combination of a corrosion-resistant outer shell and internal padding also simplifies logistic processes: weights can be moved between sites without additional packaging and with preserved traceability.

Practical meaning of classes and how they benefit operations

Tolerance classes such as F1 and M3 specify permissible deviation ranges and are widely used in traceable mass measurement. Choosing a dedicated storage solution for weights intended for these classes safeguards the nominal value against mechanical or environmental damage that could invalidate the calibration status. For teams responsible for quality assurance, using a purpose-built protective case reduces the risk of non-conformances during audits and supports consistent measurement results. The case also supports efficient organisation in the workshop or lab, keeping block weights accessible, identifiable and ready for use.
