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-406T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories looking to calibrate their own balances with precision and accuracy. With the increasing need for more sophisticated testing and frequent auditing of laboratory equipment, this calibration mass allows laboratories to ensure their balances are calibrated to meet stringent standards.
The Gilson OBA-406T Calibration Mass is designed to be used with electronic balances, offering a convenient and reliable solution for calibration. The commonly used Span Calibration method is made easy with this calibration mass, which utilizes a one-point calibration with a single mass that is approximately equal to the balance's capacity. This method is simple yet effective in checking span and linearity.
Constructed with quality in mind, the Gilson OBA-406T Calibration Mass is an ASTM Class 4 weight made of satin-finished stainless steel. This ensures durability and longevity, even with frequent use. For ease of handling and stacking, the 10kg and 20kg weights are designed with recessed grip handles.
Each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case. This not only protects the weight during transportation and storage but also ensures that it remains in pristine condition for accurate calibration.
The ASTM Class 4 weights are ideal for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and for applications with average accuracy requirements. They provide reliable and precise calibration results, making them suitable for a wide range of laboratory settings.
To further enhance the credibility and traceability of the calibration process, the Gilson OBA-406T Calibration Mass comes with a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents the traceability of the mass to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and confirms compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. It includes important information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number, ensuring transparency and accountability in the calibration process.
Overall, the Gilson OBA-406T Calibration Mass is a high-quality and reliable tool for laboratories seeking accurate and precise calibration of their balances. With its excellent construction, comprehensive traceability documentation, and wide application range, this calibration mass is a valuable asset for any laboratory.
