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-404T Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that require accurate and precise measurements. As testing becomes more sophisticated and auditing more frequent, it has become increasingly important for laboratories to be able to calibrate their own balances. This calibration mass provides the solution.
The commonly used Span Calibration method requires a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method helps to check span and linearity and ensure accurate measurements. However, some balances use the Linearity Calibration method which allows the user to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range. The Gilson OBA-404T Calibration Mass is designed to cater to both methods, making it a versatile option for calibration needs.
Constructed with satin-finished stainless steel, these ASTM Class 4 weights are durable and reliable. The 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles for easier handling and stacking. Additionally, each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g is accompanied by a glove and a foam-lined plastic case for added protection and convenience.
These ASTM Class 4 weights are suitable for most balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and for applications that have average accuracy requirements. Whether you are working in a laboratory or any other setting that demands precise measurements, these calibration masses will meet your needs.
To ensure traceability and compliance with industry standards, the Gilson OBA-404T Calibration Mass comes with a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. With this certificate, you can have peace of mind knowing that your calibration requirements are met and documented.
In summary, the Gilson OBA-404T Calibration Mass is a reliable and versatile tool for laboratories and other settings that require precise measurements. With its durable construction, included accessories, and traceable certificate, it provides everything you need for accurate and compliant calibration.
