Kilo bar weight

[Doot72]

Hi guys, when buying 1 kilo bars, these are new metalor. What weight should I expect to get on a digital scale, tolerance wise what would be say too heavy?.

also come with certs, will the exact weight be on there that it should match up to?

many thanks in advance for your answers.

Bars are silver by the way

They should weigh 1kg (1000g) or extremely close to it (fractions of a gram). I don't have mine to hand to weight, but all the certificates they come with say 1000g on them as the weight. If you have doubts whether they weigh the correct amount, i would walk away. Bear in mind there will be a small amount of error in your scales unless you have them calibrated.

So would 1003 grams be far too much?

Hi @Doot72

Your scales may be a little optimistic, but equally that’s not much over.  I have a JM bar that is 2g over. 

I don’t think it’s anything to worry about
