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 included Traceable Certificate documents traceability to NIST and compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. The Traceable Certificate includes nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name and purchase order number.
The Gilson OBA-214T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 10kg, Traceable is the perfect tool for laboratories looking to calibrate their balances with utmost accuracy. As testing becomes more sophisticated and audits of lab equipment become more frequent, it is crucial for laboratories to have reliable calibration masses.
The commonly used Span Calibration method can be easily performed with the Gilson OBA-214T. This method involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance for one-point calibration. For balances that use the Linearity Calibration method, this calibration mass allows for the selection of multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span. This ensures minimal deviation throughout the weighing range of the balance.
One of the key features of the Gilson OBA-214T Calibration Mass is its Ultra Class designation. These weights have weight tolerances that are 40-50% tighter than ASTM Class 1 and are equal to or exceed OIML Class E2 standards. Made of highly polished stainless steel, these ultra-class masses are designed to offer superior accuracy.
The 10kg weight in particular includes recessed grip handles, making it much easier to handle and stack. In addition, each individual weight from 10g to 4,000g comes with a protective, foam-lined plastic case and a glove to ensure proper handling and storage.
To further enhance the reliability and traceability of the calibration process, this product comes with a Traceable Certificate. The certificate documents its traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its compliance with either ASTM or OIML specifications. Essential information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number are included in the certificate.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-214T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 10kg, Traceable is a high-quality and reliable calibration tool that is essential for laboratories performing advanced testing and auditing. With its superior accuracy, recessed grip handles, and included Traceable Certificate, this product is perfect for analytical and sensitive balances, as well as applications that demand precise measurements.
