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-403 Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories seeking to calibrate their own balances. In today's world, where stringent testing and audits are a necessity, it is crucial to have reliable equipment that can ensure accurate measurements.
This calibration mass is specifically designed to check span and linearity, and to calibrate electronic balances. It provides a convenient solution for both the Span Calibration method and the Linearity Calibration method.
The Span Calibration method involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method is commonly used and provides reliable results. On the other hand, the Linearity Calibration method allows the user to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center, and full span of the balance's capacity. This method ensures minimal deviation throughout the weighing range of the balance.
The Gilson OBA-403 Calibration Mass is made from satin-finished stainless steel, ensuring its durability and longevity. It is designed to meet the standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Class 4. This means that it is perfect for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and for applications with average accuracy requirements.
The weights come in various sizes, ranging from 10g to 4,000g. The larger weights, such as the 10kg and 20kg options, feature recessed grip handles for easier handling and stacking. Each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g comes with a protective, foam-lined plastic case and a glove to ensure safe storage and handling.
With the Gilson OBA-403 Calibration Mass, laboratories can confidently calibrate their balances, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements for their scientific experiments and testing procedures. It is a must-have tool for any laboratory seeking precision and quality in their operations.
