Weight Tool KS Tools 123.0040 460 g

The Weight Tool KS Tools 123.0040 460 g is a compact calibrated mass intended for precise measurement tasks where a fixed reference weight is required. Designed with a focus on handling and storage, the tool offers a straightforward solution for calibration checks, comparative weighing and situations where a consistent 460 g reference is necessary. The neutral finish and compact footprint facilitate use in workshops, laboratories and field service environments.

Advantages

The tool provides a stable, accurately stated mass of 460 g in a compact form factor that is easy to grip and store. Its construction minimizes surface deformation and supports repeatable placement on scales or measurement fixtures. The simple design reduces the need for adjustment or complex setup and allows quick deployment for routine checks and comparative measurements.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Calibrating or verifying small scales and balances
• Comparative weighing in workshops and maintenance settings
• Educational demonstrations of mass and balance principles
• Field service checks where a portable reference mass is needed

Key specifications

• Nominal mass: 460 g
• Form factor: compact, hand-held weight
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal finish (typical for workshop weights)
• Surface: smooth finish to ensure consistent contact with scale pans
• Typical tolerance class: suitable for routine verification and comparative use

How to use

Place the weight gently on the centre of the scale pan or designated fixture to avoid impact that could alter readings. Use it as a single reference mass for verifying zero offset and linearity of small balances or to perform comparative checks against known samples. Store the weight in a dry, dust-free compartment or protective case when not in use to preserve its surface and mass characteristics.

Usage recommendations

For accurate and repeatable results, avoid touching the active surfaces with bare hands immediately before placing the weight on a balance; use gloves or tweezers if available. Perform routine visual inspections to check for surface damage or contamination and recalibrate against certified reference masses as required by your quality procedures.
