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 Gilson OBA-309 Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that require precise and accurate measurements. With increasing demands for sophisticated testing and more frequent auditing, it has become necessary for laboratories to calibrate their own balances. This calibration mass is designed to meet those needs.
The Span Calibration method is commonly used in laboratories, and this calibration mass allows for one-point calibration with a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. By using this method, laboratories can easily check the span and linearity of their balances and ensure accurate measurements. Additionally, some balances use the Linearity Calibration method, which allows users to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range. This ensures even greater accuracy and precision in measurements.
The Gilson OBA-309 Calibration Mass is made from highly polished stainless steel, meeting the ASTM Class 1 standards. These masses are durable and long-lasting, ensuring that they can withstand frequent use in laboratory environments. The 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack.
Each individual weight, ranging from 10g to 4,000g, comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case. This ensures that the weights are protected during storage and transportation, preventing any damage and preserving their accuracy.
