Adam Equipment ASTM 1 - 10g Stainless Steel Calibration Weight, 10g, ASTM Class 1

Adam Equipment ASTM 1 – 10g Stainless Steel Calibration Weight, ASTM Class 1

The Adam Equipment ASTM 1 – 10g calibration weight is a precision 10 gram reference mass manufactured to ASTM Class 1 tolerances. Finished in polished stainless steel and compliant with ANSI/ASTM E617 standards, this individual weight is intended for high-accuracy balance calibration in analytical, pharmaceutical, and scientific environments where Class 3 or 4 tolerances are insufficient. It is sold individually for maximum flexibility in building or maintaining a calibration programme.

Key Features

• ASTM Class 1 tolerance — second only to Class 0, appropriate for precision and high-accuracy balance calibration
• Polished stainless steel at a 7.96 g/cm³ density, meeting the stricter alloy specification for ASTM Classes 0 and 1
• Comes in an impact-resistant plastic case with a recorded serial number for calibration traceability
• Fully compliant with ANSI/ASTM E617 Class 1 specifications for precision calibration use
• Individually sold, offering flexibility to build or supplement a calibration set incrementally
• Polished surface finish reduces mass-affecting surface contamination and simplifies routine cleaning

Detailed Overview

A 10 g weight at Class 1 accuracy fills a critical role in many laboratory calibration routines, particularly when verifying balances with readabilities in the milligram range. The controlled alloy density of 7.96 g/cm³ distinguishes Class 1 weights from their lower-accuracy counterparts and ensures tighter overall mass tolerances across the denomination range. This is especially relevant in regulated analytical environments where deviation from nominal mass must be minimised and fully documented for auditing purposes.

Adam Equipment manufactures this weight to consistent standards, with the protective case helping preserve the polished surface finish through repeated handling cycles over the weight's service life. Purchasing individual weights allows calibration managers to select only the denominations their specific balance calibration procedures require, reducing unnecessary expenditure while maintaining full compliance with applicable standards. The case-recorded serial number further streamlines compliance with quality management requirements.

Applications

• High-accuracy calibration of analytical and precision balances in research laboratories
• Pharmaceutical quality control requiring tight ASTM Class 1 traceability at the 10 g denomination
• Verification of balances used in environmental testing and materials analysis
• Reference mass for accredited calibration services and metrology laboratories
• Supplementing an existing Class 1 weight set specifically at the 10 g denomination

Why Choose the Adam Equipment ASTM 1 – 10g?

For applications that demand ASTM Class 1 accuracy at the 10 g denomination, Adam Equipment's individual stainless weight is a well-made, traceable choice. The inclusion of a protective case and a documented serial number simplifies compliance with quality management systems such as ISO 17025, where calibration weight traceability must be demonstrable. Adam Equipment's established presence in precision weighing ensures this weight is produced to the exacting standards that analytical laboratories depend on for consistently accurate calibration outcomes.
