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-284W Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories that require precise calibration of their balances. With more stringent testing and auditing requirements, it has become imperative for laboratories to have the capability to calibrate their own equipment.
This NIST Class F Calibration Mass is specifically designed for higher capacity balances and scales. Made from durable cast iron, it is built to withstand regular use and provides accurate and reliable results. The mass is equipped with integral grip handles, making it easy to handle and manipulate during the calibration process.
The use of a Span Calibration method with a single mass allows for a quick and efficient calibration process, especially for balances with a capacity close to the mass of the calibration weight. For balances that require more precise calibration, the Linearity Calibration method can be used with the Gilson OBA-284W. This method allows the user to select multiple mass settings, ensuring minimal deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
For those who must provide certification to meet ISO, FDA, ANSI, or other requirements, the NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate is included with the Gilson OBA-284W Calibration Mass. This certificate ensures that the weight meets the necessary standards and provides a comprehensive report that complies with NVLAP requirements.
Whether you are calibrating laboratory balances or scales, the Gilson OBA-284W Calibration Mass is a reliable and efficient tool that ensures precise and accurate measurements. Trust Gilson to provide you with the highest quality calibration equipment to meet your laboratory's needs.
