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 Gilson OBA-286 Calibration Mass is a high-quality calibration tool designed for laboratories that require precise and accurate measurements. With advancements in testing technology and increased scrutiny of laboratory equipment, it has become essential for laboratories to have their own calibration equipment.
This calibration mass is specifically designed for checking span and linearity and calibrating electronic balances. It provides the necessary accuracy and reliability for ensuring the validity of weighing results. The span calibration method is commonly used, which involves calibrating the balance using a single mass that is close to the balance's maximum capacity. This method ensures that the balance provides accurate measurements throughout its weighing range.
Additionally, the Gilson OBA-286 allows for linearity calibration, which is particularly useful for balances that have varying mass settings. The user can select multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. This method helps minimize deviation and ensures consistent accuracy across different weight ranges.
The Gilson OBA-286 Calibration Mass belongs to the NIST Class F category, which is ideal for higher capacity balances and scales. It is fabricated with cast iron, providing durability and stability during the calibration process. The integral grip handles make it easy to use and maneuver, allowing for a seamless calibration experience.
Overall, the Gilson OBA-286 Calibration Mass offers a reliable and efficient solution for laboratories in need of precise calibration. It provides the necessary accuracy for calibrating electronic balances, checking span and linearity, and ensuring consistent and valid weighing results. Invest in the Gilson OBA-286 Calibration Mass to maintain the accuracy and reliability of your laboratory equipment and guarantee the integrity of your measurements.
