What are Standard Weights?
Standard weights are highly precise calibrated masses used for the critical tasks of:
- Testing and calibration: They ensure the accuracy of high-capacity weighing machines in medium and ordinary accuracy classes.
- Adjustment: Standard weights are instrumental in fine-tuning these weighing machines for optimal performance.
- Quality Assurance: They play a vital role in maintaining consistent and reliable weighing processes within various industries.
International Standards and SWPI's Expertise
SWPI (Shanker Wire Products Industries) adheres to the stringent guidelines set forth by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML). Specifically, their standard weights comply with:
- OIML R 47: This regulation governs the requirements for weights used for testing high-capacity weighing machines.
- OIML R 111-2004: This standard establishes the accuracy classes and manufacturing specifications for standard weights.
