Slotted weights are an integral part of precision weighing applications, ensuring accurate and reliable results in various scientific and industrial settings. Precision weighing is critical in many areas, including research and development, quality control, manufacturing, and education. Slotted weights play a pivotal role in achieving the desired accuracy levels and maintaining compliance with quality standards.
Slotted weights are meticulously crafted weights with a rectangular shape and a precise slot running through their center. The slot accommodates a loading hook or hanger, allowing the weight to be easily added to or removed from a balance or scale. Slotted weights are typically made from high-quality materials such as brass, stainless steel, or aluminum to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion.
Slotted weights come in a wide range of denominations and sizes to meet the diverse requirements of various applications. The most common denominations include 1 gram, 2 grams, 5 grams, 10 grams, 20 grams, 50 grams, 100 grams, 200 grams, 500 grams, and 1 kilogram. Weights are also available in sets, such as the NABL-certified 11-piece slotted weight set, which includes denominations from 1 gram to 1 kilogram.
Slotted weights offer numerous benefits for precision weighing applications, including:
Slotted weights find application in a vast array of industries, including:
Regular calibration of slotted weights is crucial to maintain accuracy and ensure traceability. Calibration involves comparing the weights against a known reference standard and making adjustments as necessary. Accredited calibration laboratories use calibrated mass standards to ensure precise and reliable results.
