VIA GIDEP i am in the process of plagiarizing some K procedures for analytical balances. The procedures all reference a "Rice Lake MMS" for calibration equipment. Rice Lake has no idea what "MMS" refers to, model # etc. Can anyone give me any additional info on this reference? What is the Rice Lake MMS base master set? What class, type, ASTM # etc are these weights?
They would be referring to the Rice Lake Mass Measurement Set. The were a 1mg to 20kg mass set in the 1,2,3,5 configuration issued probably in the late 1980s or so.
I believe they were ASTM E 617, Class 1, Type II, stainless steel weights. Nothing fancy. Any calibrated Class 1 set of weights with mass values reported will substitute for them.
Thanks Dave. Much appreciated.
