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-311T Calibration Mass is a highly accurate and reliable tool designed for laboratories that require precise calibration of their balances. With the increasing need for sophisticated testing and frequent auditing, it has become essential for laboratories to have the capability to calibrate their equipment.
This calibration mass is specifically designed for the calibration of electronic balances. It allows users to check the span and linearity of their balances, ensuring accurate measurements throughout the weighing range. The commonly used Span Calibration method employs a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. On the other hand, the Linearity Calibration method allows users to select multiple mass settings, such as zero, center, and full span, to minimize any deviation.
The Gilson OBA-311T Calibration Mass is made of highly polished stainless steel, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. The 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack. Each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g comes with a glove for protection and a foam-lined plastic case for secure storage.
The ASTM Class 1 classification of these masses indicates their high level of accuracy and reliability. They are perfect for use with analytical balances and applications that require first-order accuracy. These masses provide precise calibration, ensuring the most accurate measurements for critical laboratory experiments and research.
To further enhance its credibility, the Gilson OBA-311T Calibration Mass comes with a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents the traceability of the mass to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and confirms compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. The certificate includes important information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. This certificate adds an extra layer of assurance that the calibration mass has undergone thorough testing and meets the highest standards of accuracy.
Overall, the Gilson OBA-311T Calibration Mass is a vital tool for laboratories seeking to maintain the accuracy and reliability of their balances. Its high-quality construction, accuracy class, and traceable certificate make it the ideal choice for laboratories that demand precise and trustworthy calibration.
