Certified accuracy for repeatable calibration results
The OIML M3 classification and the 5 kg nominal value with a 2.5 g tolerance make this block ideal where consistent verification is required. As a certified mass standard, the unit supports traceable checks of balances and weighing systems, reducing measurement uncertainty during routine calibrations. Clear specification of tolerance allows straightforward comparison with instrument drift, supporting efficient maintenance schedules and minimising downtime in production or quality control environments.
Robust construction that withstands workshop use
Manufactured as a solid block in painted cast iron, this mass standard combines handling stability with corrosion protection. The compact block form factor offers a small footprint that simplifies storage and handling on a busy workshop bench. The heavy, dense material provides a stable mass reference that is less prone to accidental deformation than lighter, hollow designs, ensuring longer service life and fewer replacements under regular use.
Practical integration and traceability in lab workflows
Supplied by KERN and identified by SKU 366-86 and GTIN 4045761011991, the calibration block fits into existing verification routines without complex setup. Lab and workshop technicians can record the mass standard’s specification directly in calibration logs, ensuring compliance and audit-readiness. The clear origin marking (France) and tariff classification help with inventory management and cross-border procurement. The compact, simple design supports repeatable handling procedures that reduce operator-related variance.
Care, storage and consistent availability
To maintain the condition required for reliable measurement, keep the mass standard free from contaminants and avoid impacts that could alter its mass properties. Store the block in a stable environment, away from corrosive agents and extreme humidity, and handle with clean, dry gloves where possible to prevent surface deposits. Metav Werkzeuge’s stock management and quality filter in Emmerich ensure dependable supply and consistent product quality for workshop and laboratory use.

Take advantage of gentle, cotton handling and reliable contamination protection to extend the service life of precision weights; order directly from Metav Werkzeuge or contact our consultants for tailored advice. Gloves KERN 317-280 — Cotton gloves for protecting test weights up to 2 kg The Gloves KERN 317-280 are designed to protect test weights and precision masses from finger grease and moisture during everyday handling in workshops and calibration labs. Cotton construction for gentle handling Protects test weights from finger grease Suitable for test weights up to 2 kg Lightweight, reusable pair for workshop use Preserve measurement accuracy with clean handling Handling delicate masses without contamination helps to maintain precision and reduces the need for frequent recalibration. The KERN cotton gloves provide an effective barrier against finger grease and light moisture, keeping surfaces free of oils that can alter measured mass. By preventing direct contact, the gloves contribute to consistent readings and minimise the risk of measurement drift, supporting reliable quality control in routine metrology tasks. Practical protection for everyday workshop routines Lightweight and easy to store, this pair is tailored for straightforward use in production and service environments. The simple design allows quick application while handling small test weights, helping to maintain workflow speed without compromising care. Suitable for masses up to 2 kg, the gloves enable safe manipulation of common calibration weights, combining protection with operational convenience to keep processes efficient and repeatable. Why cotton is the right material for delicate tools Cotton fibres offer a soft, absorbent contact surface that decreases the transfer of oils and residues onto sensitive metal surfaces. The natural fabric reduces abrasion risk compared with harsher materials, providing gentle handling that preserves finish and mass integrity. At an almost negligible net weight, the gloves do not affect the handling ergonomics of small weights but do increase confidence in routine handling and storage practices.
