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.
Ultra Class weights boast weight tolerances 40—50% tighter than ASTM Class 1 and equal to or exceeding OIML Class E2. Ultra Class masses are highly polished stainless steel. Recessed grip handles are part of the 10kg and 20kg weights for easier handling and stacking. Individual weights from 10—4,000g include a glove and protective, foam-lined plastic case.
Ultra Class weights are perfect for analytical and sensitive balances and applications that demand superior accuracy.
The Gilson OBA-210 Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 1000g is a reliable and precise tool for laboratories to calibrate their balances. In today's world of sophisticated testing and stringent auditing, it has become essential for laboratories to ensure the accuracy of their equipment. Calibration Masses are indispensable in this process as they help in checking the span and linearity of electronic balances.
One of the commonly used calibration methods is the Span Calibration method, which involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method can effectively check the span deviation of the balance. Alternatively, some balances use the Linearity Calibration method, which allows the user to select multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span of the balance's capacity. This method further reduces deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
What sets the Gilson OBA-210 Calibration Mass apart is its Ultra Class designation. These weights offer weight tolerances that are 40-50% tighter than ASTM Class 1 and are on par with or exceed OIML Class E2 standards. The Ultra Class weights are made of highly polished stainless steel, ensuring durability and precision. The 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack.
Moreover, each individual weight from 10-4,000g comes with a glove for safe handling and a protective, foam-lined plastic case for storage and portability. This ensures that the weights are well-protected and can be conveniently transported between different areas of the laboratory.
The Gilson OBA-210 Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 1000g is particularly suitable for analytical and sensitive balances. It is an ideal choice for applications that demand superior accuracy. By utilizing this calibration mass, laboratories can confidently calibrate their balances and ensure accurate and reliable results in their testing processes.
