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-413 Calibration Mass is a high-quality product designed to meet the increasing demands of laboratories in calibrating their balances. With more sophisticated testing and auditing procedures, it has become essential for laboratories to have reliable calibration weights to ensure accurate results.
The OBA-413 Calibration Mass is specifically designed to check span and linearity, as well as calibrate electronic balances. It offers two commonly used calibration methods - the Span Calibration method and the Linearity Calibration method. The Span Calibration method utilizes 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 weighing range of the balance.
This calibration mass belongs to the ASTM Class 4 weights category. It is made from satin-finished stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack. Additionally, each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g is accompanied by a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case, ensuring safe storage and transportation.
The ASTM Class 4 weights offered by the Gilson OBA-413 Calibration Mass are suitable for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and for applications that have average accuracy requirements. These weights provide reliable and accurate calibration, contributing to the overall precision of laboratory measurements.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-413 Calibration Mass is a reliable and essential tool for laboratories in calibrating their balances. Its high-quality construction, multiple calibration methods, and accompanying accessories make it a convenient and efficient choice for laboratories with diverse weighing needs. Invest in the Gilson OBA-413 Calibration Mass today and ensure the accuracy and reliability of your laboratory measurements.
