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-313T Calibration Mass is the perfect solution for laboratories in need of reliable and accurate calibration of balances. With the increasing demand for more sophisticated testing and stricter auditing of laboratory equipment, it has become essential for laboratories to calibrate their own balances. This calibration mass is designed to ensure that your electronic balances are functioning optimally and producing accurate results.
The Span Calibration method, commonly used in balance calibration, involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method checks the span and linearity of the balance, minimizing deviation throughout its weighing range. However, some balances utilize the Linearity Calibration method, which allows the user to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. This method is particularly effective in applications requiring first-order accuracy.
The Gilson OBA-313T Calibration Mass is made of highly polished stainless steel, conforming to ASTM Class 1 standards. The 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles for easy handling and stacking. Each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case to ensure safe storage and transportation.
Furthermore, this calibration mass includes a Traceable Certificate that documents its traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications.
