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-412W Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that require accurate and precise calibration of their balances. With the increasing need for sophisticated testing and auditing, it has become crucial for laboratories to have the capability to calibrate their own equipment.
This calibration mass, classified as ASTM Class 4, is constructed from satin-finished stainless steel. The use of high-quality materials ensures durability and accuracy. Additionally, the 10kg and 20kg weights have recessed grip handles, allowing for easier handling and stacking.
The Gilson OBA-412W Calibration Mass comes in a range of weights from 10g to 4,000g. Each individual weight includes a glove and protective, foam-lined plastic case, providing additional protection and convenience for users. This feature ensures that the weights remain intact and secure during storage and transport.
Designed specifically for balances less sensitive than 0.01g and applications with average accuracy requirements, the ASTM Class 4 weights are ideal for most laboratory settings. These weights are suitable for both the Span Calibration method and the Linearity Calibration method. The Linearity Calibration method allows users to select multiple mass settings, ensuring minimal deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
Furthermore, the Gilson OBA-412W Calibration Mass includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate. This certificate is crucial for users who need to provide certification to ISO, FDA, ANSI, or other regulatory requirements. The report format and contents of the certificate comply with NVLAP standards, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-412W Calibration Mass is a reliable and accurate tool for laboratories that need to calibrate their balances. With its ASTM Class 4 classification, durable construction, and inclusion of an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate, this calibration mass meets the needs of laboratories seeking precise and compliant calibration solutions.
