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-280W Calibration Mass is a crucial tool for laboratories seeking to ensure accurate measurements. As testing becomes more advanced and laboratory equipment is subjected to stricter audits, it is essential for laboratories to be capable of calibrating their own balances. This calibration mass is specifically designed for the purpose of checking span and linearity and calibrating electronic balances.
The OBA-280W features the commonly used Span Calibration method that employs a one-point calibration with a single mass that closely matches the balance's capacity. This method ensures accuracy in measuring capacity. For balances that use the Linearity Calibration method, the OBA-280W allows users to select multiple mass settings such as zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. By utilizing this method, the OBA-280W minimizes deviation throughout the weighing range.
This calibration mass is in the NIST Class F category, specially designed for higher capacity balances and scales. The OBA-280W is constructed from strong and durable cast iron, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting tool for calibration purposes. The integral grip handles offer convenience and ease of use for laboratory technicians.
The inclusion of an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate is an added advantage for users who must provide certification in accordance with certain standards such as ISO, FDA, or ANSI. The report format and contents of the certificate adhere to NVLAP requirements, ensuring that the calibration process is documented accurately and can be used as proof of calibration for compliance purposes.
Choose the Gilson OBA-280W Calibration Mass to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of your laboratory balances. Its user-friendly design, NIST Class F classification, and inclusion of an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate make it an indispensable tool for laboratories that need to fulfill strict calibration requirements. Rest assured that with the Gilson OBA-280W Calibration Mass, your balance calibrations will meet the highest industry standards.
