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-408 Calibration Mass is designed to meet the growing demand for accurate calibration of laboratory balances. As laboratories are required to adhere to more rigorous testing and auditing, it has become essential for them to calibrate their own equipment. This calibration mass is specifically designed for this purpose.
The OBA-408 is an ASTM Class 4 weight, which means it meets the industry standards for accuracy and reliability. Made from satin-finished stainless steel, these weights are durable and long-lasting. The recessed grip handles on the 10kg and 20kg weights make them easier to handle and stack, ensuring convenience and efficiency during the calibration process.
These calibration masses are available in various weight options, ranging from 10g to 4,000g. Each weight is carefully packaged in a protective, foam-lined plastic case to prevent any damage during storage or transportation. Additionally, a glove is included with each individual weight to maintain the integrity and cleanliness of the calibration mass.
The ASTM Class 4 weights are ideal for most balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g. They are perfect for applications that have average accuracy requirements. Whether you need to check span and linearity or calibrate electronic balances, these calibration masses provide the precision and reliability you need.
Having your own calibration masses eliminates the need to rely on external services, saving both time and money. With the Gilson OBA-408 Calibration Mass, you can ensure the accuracy of your laboratory balances and maintain the highest level of quality control in your testing procedures. Trust Gilson, a leading manufacturer of laboratory equipment, to provide you with the tools you need for accurate calibration.
