KERN 316
Individual calibration weights, OIML class E2, in polished stainless steel, for precision balances.
The 316 series comprises individual KERN calibration weights in polished stainless steel, in a compact shape, certified to OIML accuracy class E2. The type code shows the nominal value through its final digits: for example 316-05 is a 20 g weight, 316-08 is 200 g, 316-11 is 1 kg and 316-13 is 5 kg, each with the OIML tolerance corresponding to class E2.
For a quotation on a weight from the 316 series, for example for code 316-01, we need the exact nominal value and the OIML class required; for weights in this class a storage box is also recommended, because of the high accuracy. 316 series weights can be brought in from the European Union, to order, within 1–4 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What information do we send for a quotation on a weight from the 316 series?
The type code requested by the customer, for example 316-01, or, if it is not known, the nominal value wanted and the OIML class needed for the balance being checked in the laboratory. We also state whether the storage box recommended by the manufacturer is needed.
What do we check before quoting for the KERN series?
We do not confirm from our own sources whether an old code on a label still corresponds exactly to the manufacturer's current offer; we check each code in the current catalogues before quoting. We make no commitment on availability from stock.
Other KERN series
We do not carry out the calibration or issue the OIML certificate ourselves; we supply the weight with the manufacturer's documentation.
