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.
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-414T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories in need of accurate and reliable calibration. With the rising demand for sophisticated testing and increased auditing, this calibration mass offers the perfect solution for calibrating laboratory balances.
Designed for span and linearity calibration, the Gilson OBA-414T utilizes the Span Calibration method, using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method ensures accuracy throughout the weighing range. Additionally, for balances that use the Linearity Calibration method, this product allows the user to select multiple mass settings, further enhancing precision.
Constructed with satin-finished stainless steel, the ASTM Class 4 weights provide durability and longevity. The 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack. To ensure utmost protection and convenience, each individual weight from 10-4,000g comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case.
The ASTM Class 4 weights are ideal for balances less sensitive than 0.01g and applications with average accuracy requirements. These weights guarantee accurate and consistent results, making them suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications.
To ensure adherence to standards and enable traceability, the Gilson OBA-414T Calibration Mass is accompanied by a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents traceability to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and compliance with either ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) or OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology) specifications. The Traceable Certificate includes vital information such as nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number.
Invest in the Gilson OBA-414T Calibration Mass and experience peace of mind when it comes to calibration. With its high-quality construction, traceability, and comprehensive documentation, this product is a reliable choice for laboratories seeking precision and accuracy in their weighing instruments.
