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.
NIST Class F Calibration Masses are available for higher capacity balances and scales. Fabricated of cast iron with integral grip handles.
NIST Class F weights are perfect for higher capacity, less sensitive balances and scales.
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-289T Calibration Mass is a top-of-the-line product designed for laboratories that require precise calibration of their equipment. With the increasing need for accurate testing and auditing, laboratories must have the ability to calibrate their own balances. This calibration mass provides a reliable solution for this crucial task.
The Span Calibration method is commonly used, and this calibration mass is carefully designed to meet those requirements. With a single mass that is approximately the same weight as the balance's capacity, this method allows for accurate calibration of electronic balances. Additionally, the Linearity Calibration method is supported by this product, which enables users to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the weighing range.
This particular calibration mass falls under the NIST Class F category, which is specifically tailored for higher capacity balances and scales. Made from sturdy cast iron material, this calibration mass is built to withstand the demands of these high-capacity weighing instruments. The integral grip handles offer convenience and ease of use during the calibration process.
When purchasing the Gilson OBA-289T Calibration Mass, you can expect a Traceable Certificate that documents traceability to NIST and compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. This certificate includes essential information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. With this documentation, you can ensure that your calibration processes meet the highest standards and are in accordance with industry regulations.
In summary, the Gilson OBA-289T Calibration Mass is a reliable and accurate solution for laboratory calibration needs. Its compatibility with both the Span and Linearity Calibration methods, along with its NIST Class F classification, make it suitable for higher capacity balances and scales. With the included Traceable Certificate, you can confidently use this calibration mass to maintain the precision of your laboratory equipment.
