series or group of weights, usually presented in a case so arranged to make possible any weighing of all loads between the mass of the weight with the smallest nominal value and the sum of the masses of all weights of the series with a progression in which the mass of the smallest nominal value weight constitutes the smallest step series. The weights have similar metrological characteristics and the same or different nominal values as defined in 4.3 of this Recommendation, and belong to the same accuracy class
