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-308T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories seeking to calibrate their own balances. With the increasing need for more sophisticated testing and frequent equipment auditing, it has become imperative for laboratories to have reliable calibration masses.
The commonly used calibration methods, such as Span Calibration and Linearity Calibration, can easily be performed with the Gilson OBA-308T Calibration Mass. The Span Calibration method uses a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance, allowing for a one-point calibration. On the other hand, the Linearity Calibration method enables users to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center, and full span, ensuring minimal deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
The Gilson OBA-308T is an ASTM Class 1 mass, made from highly polished stainless steel. This ensures the highest level of accuracy and reliability. Additionally, the 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles for easier handling and stacking, making them convenient and practical for laboratory use.
For added convenience, each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g is accompanied by a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case. This ensures that the weights are well-protected and easily accessible whenever calibration is required.
Furthermore, the Gilson OBA-308T Calibration Mass comes with a Traceable Certificate, documenting its traceability to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and compliance with ASTM or OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology) specifications. The certificate includes essential information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. This certification guarantees the highest level of accuracy and reliability for your laboratory's calibration needs.
Overall, the Gilson OBA-308T Calibration Mass is the perfect solution for laboratories performing analytical balances and requiring first-order accuracy. Its reliable performance, ASTM Class 1 certification, and accompanying Traceable Certificate make it a superior choice for any laboratory seeking the highest level of precision in their calibration processes.
