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-411T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories needing to calibrate their balances with accuracy and precision. With the increasing demand for sophisticated testing and stricter auditing, it has become imperative for laboratories to have their own calibration equipment.
This particular calibration mass is classified as ASTM Class 4, ensuring high quality and reliability. It is made from satin-finished stainless steel, which not only provides durability but also a sleek and professional appearance. The recessed grip handles on the 10kg and 20kg weights make handling and stacking easier, streamlining the calibration process.
Designed for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g, these weights are perfect for applications that require average accuracy. The weights range from 10g to 4,000g, accommodating a wide variety of calibration needs. Each individual weight comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case, ensuring safe and secure storage when not in use.
One of the key features of the Gilson OBA-411T Calibration Mass is its traceability. The included Traceable Certificate documents the traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. This certificate provides valuable information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. With this certificate, laboratories can rest assured that their calibration process meets industry standards and requirements.
In summary, the Gilson OBA-411T Calibration Mass, ASTM Class 4, 2000g, provides laboratories with a reliable and accurate solution for calibrating their balances. With its satin-finished stainless steel construction, recessed grip handles, and comprehensive traceability certificate, it is the ideal choice for laboratories that require consistent and precise balance calibration.
