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 4 weights are satin-finished 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 4 weights are perfect for most balances less sensitive than 0.01g and applications having average accuracy requirements.
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-405W Calibration Mass is a top-notch product that is essential for laboratories looking to ensure accurate measurements and comply with industry standards. As testing methodologies become more advanced and audits more frequent, it is crucial for laboratories to take charge of their own balance calibration. This calibration mass offers the perfect solution for checking span and linearity, as well as calibrating electronic balances.
The Span Calibration method is commonly used with this calibration mass, where a single mass approximately equal to the balance's capacity is used for one-point calibration. This ensures that the balance is calibrated accurately. Additionally, for balances that utilize the Linearity Calibration method, this mass allows the user to select multiple mass settings, such as zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. By using this method, deviations are minimized throughout the balance's weighing range, resulting in more precise measurements.
Crafted from satin-finished stainless steel, the ASTM Class 4 weights are highly durable and perfect for most balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g. The 10kg and 20kg weights even come with recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack. To ensure the weights remain in pristine condition, individual weights ranging from 10g to 4,000g are accompanied by a glove and protective, foam-lined plastic case.
When it comes to compliance, the Gilson OBA-405W Calibration Mass goes above and beyond. It includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate, allowing users to provide certification to ISO, FDA, ANSI, or any other required standards. The report format and contents are in full compliance with NVLAP requirements, giving labs the peace of mind that their calibration process meets the highest industry standards.
In summary, the Gilson OBA-405W Calibration Mass is a vital tool for laboratories seeking accurate measurements, compliant calibration, and reliable performance. Whether using the Span Calibration or Linearity Calibration method, this ASTM Class 4 weight guarantees precision. With its durable construction, user-friendly features, and included NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate, this product is a must-have for any laboratory in need of utmost accuracy and compliance.
