| | Calibration Weights
Scale Solutions offers an extensive selection of Calibration Weights from premier manufacturers such as Mettler Toledo Xpress, Rice Lake, Troemner.
What weight class do you need?
- ANSI/ASTM Class 1 Provides the greatest precision. Can be used as reference standard in calibrating other weights and appropriate for calibrating high-precision analytical balances (from 0.01mg to 0.1mg).
- ANSI/ASTM Class 2 Appropriate for calibrating high-precision toploading balances with readabilities ranging from 0.001g to 0.01g.
- ANSI/ASTM Class 3 Appropriate for calibrating balances with moderate precision, ranging from 0.01g to 0.1g.
- ANSI/ASTM Class 4 Appropriate for student use and semi-analytical weighing.
- NIST Class F Used to test commercial weighing devices by state and local weights and measures officials, device installers and service technicians. Class F weights may be used to test most accuracy class III scales, all scales of class III L or IIII, and scales not marked with a class designation.

|
Typical Use
|
Recommended Weight Class
|
|
Primary Laboratory Reference Standard - High precision standard used primarily as a reference for calibrating other weights.
|
OIML Class E1 |
|
ASTM Class 0
|
|
Precision Analytical Balances - Used to calibrate special precision analytical balances with a readability as low as 0.1 mg to 0.01 mg, Classes I and II.
Can be used as a reference standard in calibrating other weights.
|
OIML Class E2
|
|
ASTM Class 1
|
|
High Accuracy Balances - Working standard for precision analytical work,
built-in weights and external weights used to calibrate precision balances with a readability as low as 0.01g to 0.001g.
|
OIML Class F1, F2
|
|
ASTM Class 2
|
| Top Loading Balances - Appropriate for calibrating balances with moderate precision, with a readability as low as 0.1g to 0.01g. |
ASTM Class 3
|
| Industrial and Commercial Scales & Balances - For use with retail, wholesale and commercial scales; industrial scales; dial scales; even pan balances; platform scales; postal scales. Also used for Class IIIL and IV Weighing Devices and for calibrating scales in Legal-For-Trade applications. Brass or cast iron commonly used materials in weights, although also available in stainless steel. |
