States create weights and measures standards so that businesses and consumers can ensure that the things they are creating and buying are measured accurately and consistently. The Wisconsin Department of Weights and Measures is required to permanently mark a lead seal for each cast iron weight they produce. This seal is the last step in the verification and authentication process and permanently marks the seal and weight with the state initials and year. This seal ensures that no one can tamper with the weight and the seal is the last thing done to broadcast to the world that this is an accurate and official weight from the state of WI.
When the costs of the steel hand stamps WI was buying started to go up exorbitantly, Richard McCann from the State of Wisconsin Department of Weights and Measures decided to do what we all do and go to the Internet in search of an alternative. That's where he found Durable Technologies.
Durable Technologies created a series of steel hand stamps for the laboratory to mark the lead seal for all of the cast iron weights used for measuring standards, including 1000#, 500#, 50# and other smaller weights
Richard McCann states that "we were happy with the efforts Durable made to understand our process, materials, and specific requirements and the prices were right. We saved about 55% compared to the costs of hand stamps from our previous supplier."
