Adam Equipment ASTM 3 - 2000g Calibration Weight, 2000g Capacity, ASTM Class 3, Stainless Steel

General-Purpose ASTM Class 3 Calibration Weight — ASTM 3 - 2000g (2 kg)

The Adam Equipment ASTM 3 - 2000g is an individual 2 kg calibration weight manufactured to ANSI/ASTM Class 3 tolerances, providing a general-purpose mass standard for routine balance and scale verification. Class 3 sits in the mid-to-lower range of the ASTM E617 hierarchy and is appropriate for precision balances used in production, quality assurance, and applied laboratory settings where reliable performance in day-to-day operation is the primary requirement. The polished stainless steel body and individual protective case make this weight practical for high-frequency calibration use.

Key Features

• Polished stainless steel construction conforming to ANSI/ASTM Class 3 tolerance specifications
• 7.9 g/cm³ steel density in accordance with ASTM E617 Class 2–4 material requirements
• Individually serialised weight with serial number clearly noted on the supplied case
• Supplied in an impact-resistant hard plastic case for protection during storage and transport
• Meets ANSI/ASTM E617 Class 3 requirements for general-purpose balance calibration
• Available in Classes 0–4 and across multiple nominal values for broad application coverage
• Polished surface finish facilitates routine inspection and cleaning between calibration events

Detailed Overview

Built to ANSI/ASTM E617 Class 3 specifications with a 7.9 g/cm³ stainless steel construction, this 2 kg weight is designed for regular, practical calibration use in production and quality environments. Class 3 tolerances are appropriate for precision balances that do not require the tighter specifications of Class 0 or 1, yet still demand a documented, traceable mass standard for their calibration records. The smooth surface finish is easy to clean and inspect, reducing the risk of measurement errors from surface contamination during high-frequency calibration cycles.

Each Adam Equipment ASTM 3 weight comes with an individually labelled impact-resistant plastic case, with the unique serial number clearly recorded on the case exterior. This enables quick, reliable identification during calibration activities and supports the traceability documentation required by quality systems such as ISO 9001, GMP, and internal calibration SOPs. The hard case protects the weight from knocks and ambient contamination during storage between calibration intervals, maintaining its surface and mass stability across an extended operational period.

Adam Equipment's ASTM weight range spans Classes 0 through 4 across a wide selection of nominal values, so the 2 kg Class 3 weight fits naturally into calibration programmes that also require heavier or lighter mass references within the same class. Handling with clean forceps and storing in the supplied case between uses will preserve the weight's nominal mass and surface condition over time. The durable stainless steel construction ensures it retains its integrity through repeated use in high-frequency calibration environments.

Applications

• Routine verification of precision balances in production and manufacturing facilities
• Ongoing QC checks in food processing, chemical blending, and packaging environments
• Balance calibration for applied laboratory work where Class 3 tolerances are procedurally specified
• Field calibration kits requiring a portable, durable mass standard at 2 kg
• Production line balance checks in regulated industries requiring traceable mass standards
• Technical training and vocational programmes requiring ANSI/ASTM certified calibration weights

Why Choose the Adam Equipment ASTM 3 - 2000g?

For operations requiring regular, documented balance verification without the overhead of tighter-class weights, the Adam Equipment ASTM 3 - 2000g delivers a practical ANSI/ASTM Class 3 solution. Its polished stainless steel body withstands frequent handling in production and laboratory environments, the protective case maintains the weight in service condition between calibration intervals, and the individual serial number keeps traceability records straightforward. This combination of compliance, durability, and practicality makes the ASTM 3 - 2000g a reliable choice for any facility running systematic Class 3 balance verification at the 2 kg level.
