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-278W Calibration Mass is the perfect solution for laboratories in need of precise and reliable weight calibration. With the increasing importance of accurate testing and auditing, it is essential for laboratories to calibrate their own balances. This calibration mass offers a convenient and effective way to check span and linearity, as well as calibrate electronic balances.
The Span Calibration method is commonly used and involves the use of a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method ensures accurate results and minimizes deviation throughout the balance's weighing range. Additionally, the Linearity Calibration method allows for the selection of multiple mass settings, such as zero, half span, and full span, further enhancing the accuracy of the calibration process.
The Gilson OBA-278W Calibration Mass is part of the NIST Class F category, specifically designed for higher capacity balances and scales. Made of durable cast iron with integral grip handles, this calibration mass is built to withstand rigorous use in laboratory settings.
For users who require certification to meet ISO, FDA, ANSI, or other regulatory requirements, the Gilson OBA-278W Calibration Mass includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate. This certificate ensures that the calibration mass meets the necessary standards and that the report format and contents comply with NVLAP requirements, offering peace of mind to users and ensuring the traceability of measurements.
In summary, the Gilson OBA-278W Calibration Mass is a reliable and accurate solution for laboratories in need of weight calibration. Whether using the Span Calibration or Linearity Calibration method, this NIST Class F calibration mass guarantees precise results and facilitates compliance with regulatory standards.
