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-407 Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories looking to maintain the accuracy of their balances. As testing becomes more sophisticated and auditing of equipment becomes more frequent, it is crucial for laboratories to have the ability to calibrate their own balances.
This calibration mass is designed to check span and linearity and calibrate electronic balances. It offers two commonly used calibration methods: Span Calibration and Linearity Calibration. The Span Calibration method utilizes a single mass, approximately equal to the capacity of the balance, to ensure accurate readings. On the other hand, the Linearity Calibration method allows the user to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
The Gilson OBA-407 Calibration Mass is classified as ASTM Class 4, indicative of its excellent quality and accuracy. It is made of satin-finished stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity. With recessed grip handles included in the 10kg and 20kg weights, it makes handling and stacking a breeze. Each individual weight comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case, ensuring safe storage and transportation.
These ASTM Class 4 weights are ideal for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and applications that have average accuracy requirements. Whether you are working in a laboratory or conducting scientific research, the Gilson OBA-407 Calibration Mass is an indispensable tool that ensures precise and reliable measurements.
Investing in the Gilson OBA-407 Calibration Mass is a wise choice for laboratories seeking to maintain the accuracy and reliability of their balances. With its high-quality construction, convenience in handling, and ability to calibrate various balances, this calibration mass is the perfect addition to any laboratory setting.
