What Are Standard Iron Weights and Why Are They Used in Weighing Equipment?

Introduction

In the world of weighing, accuracy begins with the standard.

Iron weights, also known as cast iron calibration weights, are essential tools for calibrating and verifying industrial weighing equipment — from platform scales and weighbridges to lab and commercial scales.

At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we supply certified iron weights in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat, approved by the Weights and Measures Department for legal and commercial use.

🧱 What Are Iron Weights?

Iron weights are solid blocks made of cast iron, designed to match standard mass values like:

• 1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg

• 10 kg, 20 kg, 50 kg

• 100 kg, 200 kg, up to 1000 kg or more

These weights are carefully machined and coated to meet the tolerance levels required for legal metrology and industrial calibration.
