KERN 356-89 block calibration weight — 50 kg, OIML M2
KERN 356-89 is a compact block calibration weight designed for verification and adjustment of industrial and laboratory scales where OIML M2 class accuracy is required.
- OIML M2 certified accuracy
- Heavy block design for stable placement
- Painted cast iron for durable protection
- Tolerance ±8 g for precise verification
Reliable accuracy for routine calibrations
The solid 50 kg block provides a straightforward reference mass for routine verification tasks. As an OIML M2 weight with a specified tolerance of 8 g, it supplies the measurable certainty needed to check and set larger scales and balances. The defined tolerance value describes the maximum permissible deviation and allows quick assessment of a scale’s performance without complex calculations. For workshops and quality departments seeking reproducible results, this single-mass solution reduces handling complexity and time spent on multi-weight procedures.
Robust build for workshop environments
Manufactured from painted cast iron, the block is built to withstand regular use in industrial settings. The protective coating reduces surface corrosion and makes the mass easier to clean after contact with oils or residues commonly found in workshops. The block form factor ensures stable seating on scale pans, reducing rocking and measurement error compared with slender or hooked weights. This mechanical stability translates into fewer repeat readings and faster verification cycles on the shop floor.
Clear specifications that simplify compliance planning
The product’s classification and measurable parameters enable straightforward documentation. With explicit data such as OIML M2 classification, 50 kg nominal mass and tolerance 8 g, planning calibration intervals and maintaining traceability records becomes easier. The manufacturer name KERN and the SKU provide unambiguous identification for procurement and inventory systems. These objective facts help integrate the weight into an existing quality-management process without guesswork.
Practical handling and storage considerations
The block design minimises tipping and allows simple placement by hand or with appropriate lifting aids where needed. Its compact footprint supports placement on larger platform scales and dedicated verification surfaces alike. When arranging storage, the painted finish helps maintain the reference surface condition; nevertheless, storing weights in a dry, vibration-free area will preserve long-term accuracy. For users requiring guidance on correct handling or storage best practice, technical advice is available to ensure measurement integrity.

FAQ
What is the intended use of this weight?
The KERN 356-89 calibration weight is intended for verification and adjustment of industrial and laboratory scales where an OIML M2 class reference mass is suitable.
How precise is the block weight?
The block has an OIML M2 classification with a tolerance of 8 g for the 50 kg nominal mass, providing a clear limit for acceptable deviation during verification.
Is the material suitable for workshop environments?
Yes, the painted cast iron construction offers durability and corrosion resistance appropriate for workshop and industrial use.
How should the weight be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the weight in a dry, low-vibration area and avoid contact with corrosive substances; the painted finish helps protect the surface but controlled storage preserves long-term accuracy.
Can this weight be used for legal trade calibrations?
Use of the KERN 356-89 depends on local legal-metrology requirements; the weight’s OIML M2 classification serves as an objective specification for verification planning.

Preserve measurement integrity by using a lightweight leather/cotton glove pair that shields calibration weights from finger oils and moisture, extending their service life and reducing cleaning intervals; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice. KERN 317-290 gloves — Leather/Cotton protection for calibration weights The KERN 317-290 gloves are designed to protect calibration weights from contamination and moisture during handling in workshops and laboratories Leather-lined cotton construction for gentle handling Protects weights from finger oils and moisture Suitable for calibration weights from 2 kg Lightweight design, compact storage Preserve calibration accuracy with gentle handling Handling mass standards without protection risks surface contamination that affects repeatability and traceability. The KERN 317-290 glove pair combines leather/cotton materials to provide a soft, low-abrasion contact surface that significantly reduces transfer of finger oils and deposits. This gentle barrier supports consistent readings by limiting the need for frequent cleaning, which in turn helps to maintain calibration schedules and reduces downtime for precision equipment. Streamline daily workflows in workshop and lab A reliable handling solution simplifies routine procedures: the gloves are optimised for daily handling of weights and are particularly suited to masses from 2 kg upward, where manual manipulation is common. Their lightweight construction allows extended wear without fatigue, improving operator comfort and process throughput. By preventing contaminant transfer, the gloves help to keep weighing stations operational and reduce the frequency of weight surface maintenance. Durable solution from a trusted precision partner Selecting accessories from established manufacturers contributes to consistent quality across the supply chain. These gloves are supplied by KERN and distributed via Metav Werkzeuge, whose service model acts as a quality filter for European workshops. The combination of robust materials and proven distribution practices supports long-term reliability and a steady supply of precision accessories for industry and trade.

The gloves are intended for use with calibration weights from 2 kg and above; for smaller masses alternative handling tools may be recommended. How do the gloves protect the weights? The leather/cotton construction of the KERN 317-290 minimises direct skin contact and reduces transfer of oils and moisture that can alter weight surfaces. Can the gloves be cleaned or reused? The gloves are designed for repeated use; follow manufacturer care instructions to maintain material performance and surface cleanliness. Will using the gloves reduce the need to clean weights? Regular use of protective gloves lowers contamination rates and consequently reduces the frequency of weight cleaning and maintenance. Who supplies these gloves through Metav? The gloves are supplied by KERN and distributed via Metav Werkzeuge (SKU 317-290) as part of precision handling accessories. KERN — address and direct contact details not provided by the supplier
