With more sophisticated testing and more frequent auditing of laboratory equipment, it has become increasingly necessary for laboratories to calibrate their own balances. Calibration Masses are offered to check span and linearity and calibrate electronic balances. The commonly used Span Calibration method uses one-point calibration with a single mass approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. Some balances use the Linearity Calibration method which allows the user to select multiple mass settings, normally defined as zero, center (half span), and full span of the balances capacity. This method minimizes deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
ASTM Class 1 masses are highly polished stainless steel. Recessed grip handles are part of the 10kg and 20kg weights for easier handling and stacking. Individual weights from 10—4,000g include a glove and protective, foam-lined plastic case.
ASTM Class 1 masses are perfect for analytical balances and applications requiring first-order accuracy.
NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate is included for users who must provide certification to ISO, FDA, ANSI or other requirements. Report format and contents comply with NVLAP requirements.
The Gilson OBA-310W Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories seeking to ensure the accuracy and precision of their weighing equipment. As testing standards become more stringent and auditing more frequent, the need for reliable calibration tools has never been greater.
The Calibration Mass is specifically designed to check span and linearity and calibrate electronic balances. It offers two widely used calibration methods, namely the Span Calibration method and the Linearity Calibration method. The Span Calibration method utilizes a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance, allowing for a quick and accurate calibration. On the other hand, the Linearity Calibration method offers the user the flexibility to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. This method ensures minimal deviation throughout the balance's weighing range, guaranteeing accurate measurements for a variety of applications.
The Gilson OBA-310W Calibration Mass is crafted using highly polished stainless steel, conforming to the ASTM Class 1 standards. This material not only ensures excellent durability but also facilitates easy handling and stacking due to the recessed grip handles present in the 10kg and 20kg weights. To further protect these individual weights, each one is provided with a glove and a foam-lined plastic case, making storage and transportation hassle-free and preventing any damage to the calibration mass.
These calibration masses are ideally suited for analytical balances and applications that demand first-order accuracy. With their precise calibration, laboratories can confidently perform their weighing tasks, knowing that their results will be reliable and consistent.
Additionally, the Gilson OBA-310W Calibration Mass is NVLAP certified and comes with a Weight Calibration Certificate. This certificate is essential for users who need to provide certification in accordance with ISO, FDA, ANSI, or other regulatory requirements. The report format and contents strictly comply with NVLAP standards, further reinforcing the reliability and traceability of the calibration mass.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-310W Calibration Mass is a highly reliable and versatile tool that ensures accurate and precise measurements for laboratories of all kinds. Its adherence to ASTM Class 1 standards, inclusion of protective cases, and NVLAP certification make it the ideal choice for laboratories seeking first-order accuracy and compliance with industry regulations.
