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.
The included Traceable Certificate documents traceability to NIST and compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. The Traceable Certificate includes nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name and purchase order number.
The Gilson OBA-314T Calibration Mass, ASTM Class 1, 10kg, Traceable, is an essential tool for laboratories seeking to calibrate their own balances with precision and accuracy. With the rise in sophisticated testing and increased auditing of laboratory equipment, it has become imperative for laboratories to have reliable calibration masses on hand.
Designed for use in a variety of applications, including analytical balances, the ASTM Class 1 calibration masses are made of highly polished stainless steel. This ensures their durability and longevity, making them ideal for regular use in demanding laboratory environments. The 10kg weight features recessed grip handles, making it easier to handle and stack, while the 20kg weight offers the same convenient feature.
With an extensive range of individual weights from 10g to 4,000g, this set of calibration masses caters to a wide range of balance capacities and user requirements. Each weight from 10g to 4,000g is accompanied by a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case. This ensures that each weight is kept safe and secure during transportation and when not in use, preventing any damage or alteration to its accuracy.
To guarantee the utmost precision and accuracy, the Gilson OBA-314T Calibration Masses come with a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. It includes vital information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. This certificate offers reassurance and confidence in the accuracy of the calibration masses, allowing users to trust in the reliability of their balancing equipment.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-314T Calibration Mass, ASTM Class 1, 10kg, Traceable, is an indispensable tool for laboratories seeking to maintain precision and accuracy in their balance calibrations. With its high-quality construction, convenient handling features, and comprehensive traceable certificate, this set of calibration masses is the perfect choice for laboratories requiring first-order accuracy and compliance with stringent standards.
