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-412T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that require accurate and reliable calibration of their balances. As laboratories face more scrutiny and frequent audits, it is crucial to have a calibration mass that ensures precise measurements.
This ASTM Class 4 calibration mass has a capacity of 3000g, making it suitable for a wide range of balances. It is constructed with satin-finished stainless steel, guaranteeing durability and long-lasting performance. The weight also features recessed grip handles, making it easier to handle and stack. This is particularly useful for the 10kg and 20kg weights.
To further protect the calibration mass, it comes with a protective, foam-lined plastic case. This ensures that the weight remains in excellent condition when not in use. Additionally, each weight from 10-4000g is accompanied by a glove, adding an extra layer of protection during handling.
The ASTM Class 4 weights are specifically designed for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g. They are ideal for applications that do not require the highest level of accuracy but still demand reliable measurements.
One of the key features of the Gilson OBA-412T Calibration Mass is the included Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents the traceability of the mass to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ensures compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. It provides all the necessary information, such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-412T Calibration Mass is a high-quality, reliable, and accurate calibration tool for laboratories. With its ASTM Class 4 rating, stainless steel construction, and included Traceable Certificate, it is the perfect choice for ensuring the precision of balances in a variety of applications.
