Test Weights

Our test weights have been engineered for precise calibration and accuracy in weighing systems. Ideal for industries requiring reliable measurement, our hand test weights, calibration and crane test weights, are made from high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and accuracy.

Test Weights

What Are Test Weights?

Test weights are essential tools used to verify, calibrate, and maintain the accuracy of weighing systems across a wide range of industries. Whether you're operating heavy industrial machinery or sensitive laboratory equipment, precision matters. We provide high-quality, certified hand test weights and calibration test weights that help ensure your equipment is performing accurately and consistently, every time.

WHY ARE TEST WEIGHTS IMPORTANT

Are you looking to try out your lifting equipment prior to engaging in proper lifting operations? Well, if you are, we recommend investing in a test weight.

Essentially, they test the load capacity of your equipment before actually putting your equipment into action. Our Hand Test Weight weighs 20kg and comes with a sturdy carry handle. All you need to do is attach your test weight to your lifting device and lift as normal. You will then be able to monitor how much weight your lifting gear can safely and efficiently lift – perfect for the warehousing and construction industries.

We also offer Test Weight Stillages and Test Weight Trolleys, making storing and transporting multiple weights a walk in the park.

We recommend that every facility has access to a range of test weights to help increase safety. Contact us if you would like further information.

Test Weights & Crane Weights FAQs

Can I use test weights to calibrate non-digital weighing systems?

Yes, test weights can be used to calibrate both digital and mechanical (non-digital) weighing systems, ensuring they remain accurate and reliable. For mechanical systems, the weights are typically used to check spring balances or load cells.

What is the difference between certified and non-certified test weights, and which do I need?

Certified test weights are calibrated and verified to meet specific national or international standards, making them suitable for high-accuracy applications. Non-certified weights are typically used for less stringent calibration needs. For industries that require compliance with regulations, certified test weights are recommended.

Are there any special considerations for using test weights in outdoor environments?

When using test weights outdoors, ensure they are protected from exposure to weather, dirt, or extreme temperature changes, as these conditions can affect their precision. Using weights that are specifically designed for outdoor use, such as those made from corrosion-resistant materials, is recommended.

How do I maintain the accuracy of test weights over time?

To maintain the accuracy of test weights, store them in a controlled environment away from extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical damage. Regularly calibrating and using certified weights ensures they remain within tolerances and provide reliable results.

What should I do if I accidentally drop or damage a test weight?

If a test weight is dropped or damaged, it may no longer provide accurate calibration. Inspect it for any visible signs of damage or wear, and if necessary, return it for recalibration or replacement to maintain the integrity of your measurements.
