Maintenance and Care of Stainless Steel Weights

The core principles of maintaining and servicing stainless steel weights are to prevent contamination, corrosion, and impact damage, as well as to perform regular calibration, thereby ensuring long-term accuracy and stability.


The core of the maintenance and care of stainless steel weights is Anti-pollution, anti-corrosion, impact-resistant, and subject to regular calibration. , to ensure long-term accuracy and stability. The complete operating procedure is as follows:

I. Daily Usage Guidelines (Most Critical)

  • Pick up and put down : Use for under 50g Specialized tweezers / forceps ; kilogram-level戴 Powder-Free Latex Gloves / Fine Yarn Gloves , Strictly prohibited to touch with bare hands. (Sweat contains salt, which can easily cause corrosion.)
  • Operation : Handle with care, Strictly prohibit impact, dropping, and compression. ; Do not store together with other metals or hard objects; return to the designated box immediately after use.
  • Environment : Do not use in humid, high-salt-fog, acidic/alkaline, strong-magnetic-field, or high-temperature environments; before calibration, ensure the weights and the balance Maintain constant temperature for more than 2 hours 。

II. Cleaning and Maintenance (Must be performed after each use)

  • Daily Cleaning : use Lint-free cloth / Suede / Silk dip Anhydrous ethanol Gently wipe to remove dust, fingerprints, and moisture. Completely dry Store it again later.
  • Stubborn Stains : For oils and fats Neutral detergent Wipe locally, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry immediately; acid or alkali residues Rinse immediately with copious amounts of water. Then treat with 10% nitric acid or a dedicated stainless steel cleaning agent, and finally wipe dry with alcohol.
  • Strictly prohibited : use Steel wool, sandpaper, hard tools Polishing; do not use strong acids, strong alkalis, or abrasive cleaners; weights with adjustment cavity Prevent liquid from penetrating the interior 。

III. Storage Management (the Foundation for Long-Term Stability)

  • Environment : Dry, clean, well-ventilated, and free of corrosive gases; temperature 18–22°C , humidity 40%–60% ; Keep away from magnetic fields, vibration sources, and high-temperature equipment.
  • Container : Put back Original Dedicated Weight Box , place in the box Desiccant ; Different grades / specifications Store separately , to avoid friction and collisions.
  • Long-term idleness : each 3–6 months Clean and inspect once; can be coated. Trace Amount Rust-Preventive Oil Store in a sealed container afterward.

IV. Regular Inspection and Calibration (to Ensure Accuracy Compliance)

  • Visual Inspection : Check monthly for any Rust, scratches, deformation, and defects , immediately suspend and send for inspection in case of abnormalities.
  • Periodic Calibration : Submit for inspection in accordance with statutory / metrological requirements:
    • Level E1/E2/F1: Once a year
    • F2/M1 Level: Once every 1–2 years
  • Record : Establish a ledger to record information on usage, cleaning, calibration, and verification, facilitating traceability.

V. Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Minor rust / oxidation : Gently wipe with an alcohol swab; in severe cases Return to factory for re-polishing + calibration , Self-grinding is prohibited. 。
  • Magnetization : Stay away from magnetic fields; if necessary, do Demagnetization processing 。
  • Deformation / Defect : Immediately disable and send to a professional service center for repair or replacement.

VI. Mnemonic for Maintenance and Servicing

Do not touch with hands; handle gently. Wipe with alcohol and allow to dry thoroughly. Use a desiccant box to protect against magnetic fields. Perform regular calibration and maintain accurate records.
