1 g Weight

1 g Weight

• Nominal mass1 g

This small accessory has one clearly defined task: to provide a load with a nominal mass of 1 g. It lets you quickly assess how the scale responds at this specific point in its range without substituting a random object of unknown mass.

Once the weight is placed on the weighing platform, you can observe the device's reading under a load with a nominal mass of one gram. This test helps assess the repeatability of the scale's response and identify a clear deviation from the expected value.

The weight can also be used in a calibration procedure if the instructions for the specific scale call for a 1 g mass. The correct procedure always depends on the design and settings of that device.

A Clean Surface and Steady Measurement

Before use, make sure the weighing platform and weight are clean and dry. Loose particles, moisture, tabletop vibrations, or drafts can affect a sensitive scale's reading, so perform the check on a stable surface.

After use, put the weight somewhere protected from dirt. Gentle handling reduces the risk of depositing residue that could make it harder to achieve repeatable conditions for subsequent checks.
