KERN 357-13 — 5 kg OIML M2 calibration weight, knob form
The KERN 357-13 is a single OIML class M2 calibration weight with a 5 kg nominal mass, crafted from finely turned stainless steel for routine verification of laboratory and industrial scales.
- OIML class M2 certified accuracy
- Finely turned stainless steel body
- Knob form for safe handling
Reliable verification for routine and accredited checks
The OIML classification gives a clear indication of permitted error ranges and typical applications: OIML M2 denotes suitability for medium-accuracy verifications and routine calibrations where consistent repeatability is required. As a calibration weight with a 5 kg nominal mass, the instrument provides a stable reference mass for balancing systems and test procedures. Traceability to national standards and regular control calibrations will preserve measurement confidence; the mass acts as a physical standard to verify load cells and balance performance prior to production runs or quality audits.
Durable construction with ergonomic handling
Manufactured in finely turned stainless steel, the specimen offers corrosion resistance and an even surface finish that minimises contamination and wear during repeated use. The knob form supports secure gripping and controlled placement, reducing the risk of accidental knocks or lateral forces that could bias a measurement. This combination of durability and ergonomic design simplifies handling routines in busy workshops and metrology labs, helping to maintain instrument integrity over many verification cycles.
Practical application in workshops and test rooms
Designed for integration into standard verification workflows, the weight serves for routine checks of bench scales, floor scales and other weighing systems used in production control. The compact, single-weight format aids quick exchange and storage while ensuring compliance with measurement procedures. Where documentation of traceable checks is required, the weight functions as a physical reference during pre-shift inspections and periodic quality checks, supporting consistent process control and reducing measurement uncertainty in everyday operations.

FAQ
What is the intended use of this calibration weight?
The KERN 357-13 is intended for routine verification and control checks of balances and scales where an OIML M2 reference mass is appropriate.
Is the 5 kg mass suitable for laboratory balances?
Yes, the 5 kg nominal mass supplied as the KERN 357-13 is commonly used to verify medium-capacity balances and industrial scales within the tolerance range of OIML class M2.
How should the weight be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the stainless steel weight in a dry, dust-free environment and handle by the knob to avoid oils or residues on the measurement surface; periodic recalibration is recommended to document continued conformity.
Does the material resist corrosion from workshop environments?
The finely turned stainless steel construction provides robust resistance to common environmental effects, supporting longevity and stable measurement performance.
Can this weight be used for legal-for-trade calibrations?
OIML class M2 is specified for routine and laboratory verifications rather than highest-precision legal-for-trade tasks; consult calibration requirements against local regulations to confirm suitability.
