Cast Iron Test Weights And Calibrated Weights At Shankar Wire Products Industries
Weights have always been used to carry out weighing procedures. This original purpose has almost disappeared. Today, weights are used almost exclusively for adjusting and testing and calibration of electronic balances. We therefore call them “Test weights“ as this is their purpose of use.
Adjusting a balance means that you are intervening in the weighing system, to make sure that the display is set to show the correct nominal value. With calibration, on the other hand, there is no intervention,
you are testing whether the display is correct and documenting any deviation.
The internationally valid OIML Directive R111-2004 classifies test
weights hierarchically into accuracy classes, where E1 is the most accurate and M3 is the least accurate class.
SWPI offers you the appropriate test weight of Accuracy Class of M1, M2 and M3 made of Cast Iron for your balance,
Selection of the appropriate test weight for your balance:
Correctly selected test weights with DKD calibration certificate are the pre-requisite for ensuring that your balances are not only correctly adjusted, but also correctly calibrated. Scheduled testing of your balances
with such test weights helps to guarantee your quality requirements and to maintain your quality targets.
Here‘s how you find the right test weight for your balance:
A balance can never be more accurate than the test weight used to adjust it, it depends on its tolerance.
Accuracy of the test weight: Should correspond to the readout d of the balance, rather than something better.
Nominal weight value: This is shown in adjust mode „CAL“ in the balance display. Given the choice, the heaviest weight is the most suitable for accurate measurement.Once accuracy and nominal weight value are specified, the suitable test weight is selected.
The key points from the OIML Directive R111-2004 OIML (Organisation Internationale de Metrologie Legale) has established the exact metrological requirements for weights in verified applications in approx. 100 states all over the world. The OIML recommendation R111 (2004 Edition) for weights relates to sizes 1 mg–50 kg. Statements are made on the accuracy, materials, geometric shape, marking and storage of the weights.
