KERN 362-96 weight set, OIML Class M3, 1 g–1 kg

The KERN 362-96 is a precision OIML Class M3 weight set designed for calibration and verification tasks in workshops and laboratories.

• OIML Class M3 accuracy
• Nominal range 1 g–1 kg
• Stainless steel and lacquered cast iron
• Button and cylinder forms
• Supplied in a wooden storage block

Reliable calibration for routine verification

The set is specified to OIML Class M3, which means it is intended for routine calibration and verification where moderate precision is required. This classification provides a clear, comparable standard for conformity testing and periodic checks on balances and scales. Using certified weights of 1 g–1 kg reduces uncertainty in day-to-day measurements and supports consistent quality control. The inclusion of both fine and coarse nominal values ensures that a wide range of instruments can be checked without the need for multiple separate sets, improving operational efficiency in production and maintenance environments.

Materials and shapes explained for consistent results

Small masses in the set are made from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and long-term surface stability; larger masses are formed from lacquered cast iron to combine robustness with economical mass production. The mixture of button form pieces (used for the smallest and the largest items) and cylinder form pieces (notably for 100 g and 200 g) is chosen to aid handling and reduce surface contact during weighing. These design choices translate into practical benefits: easier manoeuvring during calibration, reduced risk of contamination, and a stable mass distribution that supports repeatable readings over many cycles.

Secure storage, handling and application benefits

The weights are supplied in a fitted wooden block, which protects surfaces and keeps the set organised for quick access during verification routines. Proper handling—using tweezers or gloves and keeping the set in a stable, dust-free environment—helps preserve the nominal values and extends service life. With a total set weight of approximately 2.8 kg, the block remains portable while offering a complete kit for on-site checks. Manufactured in Germany, the set is suitable for workshop and laboratory verification tasks where M3 tolerances are acceptable and cost-effective, routine calibration is required.

FAQ

What accuracy class does this set meet?
The KERN 362-96 complies with OIML Class M3, making it suitable for routine calibration and verification where M3 tolerances are appropriate.

Which materials are used for the individual weights?
The set combines stainless steel for the smaller masses (1 g–50 g) and lacquered cast iron for the larger masses (from 100 g), as specified for this KERN set.

Why are there both button and cylinder shapes in the set?
Button form pieces reduce surface contact and are easier to handle for very small and certain large masses; cylinder shapes (100 g, 200 g) improve centring on balances and assist repeatable placement.

How should the weights be stored and handled to maintain accuracy?
Store the weights in the supplied wooden block, avoid direct skin contact with mass surfaces, and keep them in a dry, temperature-stable environment to preserve nominal values.
