series of weights generally presented in a box, in such a combination as to allow weighings of all loads from the smallest nominal weight up to the sum of all the weights in the set, in a sequence of which the smallest nominal weight in the set is the unit
The sequence in a set of weights is generally as follows: (1; 1; 2; 5) x 10n kg (1; 1; 1; 2; 5) x 10n kg (1; 2; 2; 5) x 10n kg (1; 1; 2; 2; 5) x 10n kg.
