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-315T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that need to calibrate their own balances. With the increasing need for more sophisticated testing and frequent auditing of laboratory equipment, having reliable calibration masses is crucial.
This calibration mass is classified as ASTM Class 1, which means it is made of highly polished stainless steel. It is designed to provide first-order accuracy, making it perfect for analytical balances and applications requiring precise measurements.
The Gilson OBA-315T Calibration Mass has a weight of 20kg, which is ideal for checking span and linearity and calibrating electronic balances. The commonly used Span Calibration method uses a single mass equal to the balance's capacity for one-point calibration. Some balances use the Linearity Calibration method, which allows the user to select multiple mass settings to minimize deviation throughout the weighing range.
To make handling and stacking easier, the 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles. Additionally, individual weights from 10—4,000g come with a protective foam-lined plastic case and a glove to ensure their longevity and accuracy.
When you purchase the Gilson OBA-315T Calibration Mass, you will receive a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents the mass's traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. It includes important information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. This certificate ensures that you have the necessary documentation to meet quality control requirements and demonstrate the accuracy of your measurements.
For laboratories that need reliable and accurate calibration masses, the Gilson OBA-315T Calibration Mass is the perfect solution. Its ASTM Class 1 classification, recessed grip handles, and included Traceable Certificate make it the ideal choice for precise measurements and quality control. Stay confident in your laboratory results with this high-quality calibration mass.
