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-288W Calibration Mass is designed to meet the growing demand for laboratories to calibrate their own balances accurately and efficiently. With the advancements in testing and increased scrutiny in laboratory equipment, it has become imperative for labs to have reliable calibration tools.
This calibration mass is specifically designed for use with electronic balances and offers two common calibration methods - Span Calibration and Linearity Calibration. The Span Calibration method involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance to check its span and linearity. On the other hand, the Linearity Calibration method allows the user to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. This method ensures minimal deviation throughout the weighing range of the balance.
The Gilson OBA-288W Calibration Mass belongs to the NIST Class F category, which is ideal for higher capacity balances and scales. These weights are fabricated using cast iron and feature integral grip handles, ensuring ease of use and durability.
To meet the certification requirements of industry standards such as ISO, FDA, and ANSI, the Gilson OBA-288W Calibration Mass includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate. This certificate provides assurance of accurate calibration and compliance with NVLAP requirements. The report format and contents of the certificate are designed to meet the specific requirements of NVLAP, ensuring the highest level of credibility and validity.
With the Gilson OBA-288W Calibration Mass, laboratories can effectively calibrate their electronic balances, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements. Depending on the specific calibration method required, this calibration mass offers the flexibility to check span and linearity or select multiple mass settings. The NIST Class F rating of the weight makes it suitable for higher capacity balances and scales, while the inclusion of the NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate guarantees compliance with industry standards and certification requirements. Trust the Gilson OBA-288W Calibration Mass for precise and reliable calibration in your laboratory.
