Adam Equipment ASTM 2 - 2000g Stainless Steel Calibration Weight, 2000g, ASTM Class 2

Adam Equipment ASTM 2 – 2000g Stainless Steel Calibration Weight, ASTM Class 2

The Adam Equipment ASTM 2 – 2000g calibration weight provides a traceable 2 kg reference mass at the elevated accuracy of ASTM Class 2. Constructed from polished stainless steel and tested against ANSI/ASTM E617 specifications, this individual weight serves precision balances in demanding laboratory and industrial calibration programmes. The Class 2 tolerance level makes it appropriate for precision applications where tighter accuracy than general-purpose Class 3 or 4 weights is required.

Key Features

• ASTM Class 2 accuracy — tighter tolerances than Classes 3 and 4, suitable for precision balance verification
• Polished stainless steel construction for a superior surface finish and excellent corrosion resistance
• Supplied in an impact-resistant plastic case to protect the weight's surface integrity during storage
• Complies with ANSI/ASTM E617 requirements across the full ASTM weight class range
• Stainless alloy density of 7.9 g/cm³, in line with ASTM Class 2–4 specifications
• Serial number on the case supports traceable calibration records and documentation

Detailed Overview

At 2000 g, this weight represents one of the heavier denominations in the ASTM stainless range and is well-suited to calibrating precision balances with capacities in the kilogram range. ASTM Class 2 occupies an important position in the accuracy hierarchy — offering tighter tolerances than Class 3 while remaining practical for a wide range of precision balance applications. The polished surface minimises the risk of mass variation caused by surface contamination and simplifies maintenance between calibration cycles.

Purchased individually, this weight integrates seamlessly into existing calibration sets or functions as a standalone reference for periodic balance checks. The hard plastic case provides both protective storage and a location to record the weight's serial number, keeping calibration documentation organised and accessible. For facilities operating in regulated environments, the individual serial number is particularly valuable when maintaining calibration records.

Applications

• Calibration and verification of precision balances with multi-kilogram capacity
• Reference mass for quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing and R&D laboratories
• Industrial metrology and compliance testing requiring ASTM Class 2 traceability
• Testing precision balances in analytical, academic, and environmental laboratories
• Supplementing a weight set where a 2 kg denomination is required at Class 2 accuracy
