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-308W Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that require accurate calibration of their balances. As testing methods become more sophisticated and auditing of laboratory equipment becomes more frequent, it is important for laboratories to be able to calibrate their own balances.
This calibration mass is designed to check span and linearity and to calibrate electronic balances. It is commonly used in the Span Calibration method, which involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. It can also be used in the Linearity Calibration method, which allows the user to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
The ASTM Class 1 masses are made of highly polished stainless steel, ensuring durability and accuracy. The 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles for easier handling and stacking. Each individual weight, ranging from 10g to 4,000g, comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case for safe storage and transportation.
These ASTM Class 1 masses are perfect for use with analytical balances and applications requiring first-order accuracy. They have been specifically designed to meet the highest standards of accuracy and precision.
To ensure compliance with ISO, FDA, ANSI, and other certification requirements, the Gilson OBA-308W Calibration Mass includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate. This certificate provides documented proof of the mass's calibration and adherence to NVLAP requirements. The report format and contents of the certificate have been carefully designed to meet the strict standards set by NVLAP.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-308W Calibration Mass is an indispensable tool for laboratories that need to calibrate their balances with accuracy and precision. Its ASTM Class 1 construction, included accessories, and NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate make it the ideal choice for laboratories seeking reliable and certified calibration equipment.
