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 Gilson OBA-402 Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that need to calibrate their own balances. With the increasing need for more sophisticated testing and frequent auditing of laboratory equipment, it is crucial to have a reliable and accurate calibration mass.
The OBA-402 Calibration Mass is designed to check span and linearity and calibrate electronic balances. It offers two commonly used calibration methods - the Span Calibration method and the Linearity Calibration method. The Span Calibration method uses a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance, while the Linearity Calibration method allows the user to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
This calibration mass is ASTM Class 4, which means it has a satin-finished stainless steel construction. This ensures durability and long-lasting performance. For convenient handling and stacking, the 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles. Additionally, each individual weight from 10 to 4,000g comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case for safe storage and transportation.
The ASTM Class 4 weights offered by the Gilson OBA-402 are perfect for most balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and applications with average accuracy requirements. Whether you are working in a scientific research facility, a pharmaceutical laboratory, or any other laboratory environment, this calibration mass will help you ensure the accuracy of your weighing instruments.
Investing in the Gilson OBA-402 Calibration Mass will not only save you time and money by allowing you to calibrate your own balances, but it will also provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your weighing instruments are properly calibrated and delivering accurate results. Trust the reliability and accuracy of Gilson, a leading provider of laboratory equipment, and make the Gilson OBA-402 Calibration Mass a part of your laboratory toolkit.
