KERN 356-86 — 5 kg OIML Class M2 calibration block weight
A compact KERN 356-86 block weight designed for routine calibration and verification of industrial scales and balances
- OIML Class M2 certified accuracy
- 5 kg nominal mass for mid-range scales
- Painted cast iron for durable service
- Compact block shape for stable placement
Calibrated accuracy that supports compliant results
The OIML Class M2 classification denotes a standardised tolerance band suitable for typical industrial and commercial calibration tasks. With a nominal mass of 5 kg and a stated tolerance of 800 mg, this calibration mass provides a measurable baseline for verifying mid-range weighing equipment. Using a reference mass with defined tolerance simplifies traceable checks and supports documentation practices required in quality-controlled environments. The clear specification makes it straightforward to compare measured deviations against permitted limits and to plan corrective action where necessary.
Robust construction for everyday workshop use
Made from painted cast iron, the block form offers a stable contact surface that resists minor impacts and surface wear common in busy workshops. The compact block geometry helps maintain secure placement on scale pans, reducing the risk of tipping or misalignment during handling. This construction translates into practical durability: fewer accidental damages and a predictable handling routine. The design focuses on long-term usability rather than fragile precision, making it well suited to routine verification cycles in production, maintenance and test benches.
Seamless integration into procurement and calibration routines
The reference mass is supplied as a single calibration weight and is identified by SKU 356-86 for straightforward inventory tracking. The manufacturer is KERN, a recognised name in metrology, and the item originates from China; standard commercial identifiers are provided for logistical and record-keeping purposes. Purchasing through a specialist distributor such as Metav Werkzeuge brings the advantage of centralised sourcing and a quality-filter process from Emmerich, which supports reliable supply and consistent product specification across deliveries. This helps reduce administrative overhead and supports continuity in calibration programmes.

Benefit from an aluminium-protected housing, a padded interior and compatibility with block weights up to 5 kg and calibration classes F1–M3 for safe storage and transport; Order the aluminium-protected case directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. Aluminium-protected case KERN 346-060-600 — Protective case for 5 kg block weights, padded The Aluminium-protected case serves as a purpose-built transport and storage solution for single block weights, combining a robust outer shell with soft interior support to preserve calibration and dimensional integrity during handling. Aluminium-protected housing for block weights Suitable for block weights up to 5 kg Calibrated classes F1–M3 compatible Internal padding for secure storage Safe storage that preserves calibration The KERN aluminium shell provides a rigid barrier against impacts and abrasion, while the padded interior prevents micro-movements that can affect a mass artefact’s calibration. For laboratories and calibration shops where traceability and repeatability matter, a dedicated protective case reduces the risk of accidental knocks and environmental contamination. The solid construction helps maintain the declared mass values and extends the service life of the weights, contributing to fewer recalibrations and more predictable maintenance intervals. Compatibility with calibration classes and handling benefits Designed specifically for block weights and compatible with classes F1–M3, this case supports common metrological workflows and storage protocols. The internal layout is suited to a standard block form and secures items up to 5 kg, ensuring conformity with class-specific handling. Using a dedicated case reduces handling time during inspections and audits and simplifies storage logistics in a busy workshop or calibration room. Clear class compatibility also aids procurement decisions, aligning the storage solution with formal calibration schedules and quality management systems. Lightweight design for workshop efficiency Constructed from aluminium, the case remains lightweight (approx. 1.25 kg) while offering durable protection, making it practical to move between benches, labs and transport crates without adding excessive bulk. The reduced weight simplifies manual handling and lowers transport effort when compared with heavier protective solutions, yet the material resists corrosion and everyday wear. This balance of low mass and high protection supports efficient workshop routines and helps maintain the condition of precision masses across frequent use.
