Mass

Service

VSL provides traceability in the field of mass measurements and achieves

the highest accuracy in the Netherlands. Accurate weighing is in many cases essential when it concerns safety, health or costs. VSL calibrates and adjusts weights of class M1 to class E1 for which the conventional mass, the true mass and the Newtonian mass can be determined.

Method

For the calibration of weights for clients, VSL uses high-class mass standards that are directly derived from the Dutch kilogram, which in turn is traceable back to the international kilogram in Paris. This short traceability chain and the use of weighing robots guarantee a very low measurement uncertainty.

Application and clients

Mass measurements play an important role in trade, industry, analytical

laboratories and process control. For example, mass standards are used

to calibrate weighing instruments and to adjust them if necessary or they

are used in accredited organisations to determine the mass of other weights.
