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.
NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate is included for users who must provide certification to ISO, FDA, ANSI or other requirements. Report format and contents comply with NVLAP requirements.
The Gilson OBA-282W Calibration Mass is a NIST Class F certified weight designed specifically for laboratory equipment calibration. As laboratories are required to conduct more sophisticated testing and frequent audits, the need for accurate calibration of balances has become crucial.
This calibration mass is essential for checking the span and linearity of electronic balances. It allows for accurate calibration and ensures reliable measurements. The Span Calibration method is commonly used, which involves one-point calibration with a single mass that is close to the capacity of the balance. This method is simple and effective for most balances.
However, some balances use the Linearity Calibration method, which allows the user to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. This method minimizes deviation and enhances the accuracy of weighing throughout the balance's range.
The Gilson OBA-282W Calibration Mass is a high-quality weight that falls under NIST Class F classification. It is fabricated from cast iron, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. The weight features integral grip handles, making it easy to handle and manipulate during the calibration process.
To meet the needs of users who must provide certification to ISO, FDA, ANSI, or other requirements, the Gilson OBA-282W Calibration Mass includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate. This certificate not only ensures the weight's accuracy but also confirms compliance with the standards set by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The report format and contents of the certificate strictly adhere to the NVLAP requirements, guaranteeing the weight's reliability and traceability.
In summary, the Gilson OBA-292W Calibration Mass is a highly reliable and accurate weight designed to assist laboratories in calibrating their balances. Its NIST Class F certification, cast iron construction with integral grip handles, and included NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate make it the perfect choice for higher capacity, less sensitive balances and scales.
