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-211T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 2000g, Traceable, is an essential tool for laboratories that require precise and accurate calibrations of their balances. As testing becomes more sophisticated and audits more frequent, it is crucial for laboratories to have reliable equipment to ensure accurate results.
To calibrate electronic balances, Calibration Masses are necessary to check span and linearity. The Span Calibration method involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method is commonly used and provides a reliable calibration. However, some balances may also use the Linearity Calibration method. This method allows the user to select multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
The Gilson OBA-211T calibration mass belongs to the Ultra Class weights. These weights have weight tolerances that are 40-50% tighter than ASTM Class 1, and they meet or exceed the standards of OIML Class E2. Made with highly polished stainless steel, these weights are not only precise but also durable.
The 10kg and 20kg weights come with recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack. The individual weights range from 10-4,000g and are accompanied by a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case for added convenience and protection.
The Ultra Class weights are specially designed for analytical and sensitive balances. These weights provide superior accuracy, making them ideal for applications that demand precise measurements.
Each Gilson OBA-211T Calibration Mass comes with a Traceable Certificate. This certificate documents the traceability of the weight to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ensures compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. The certificate includes essential information such as the nominal value and correction, the date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number.
Ensure your laboratory equipment is properly calibrated with the Gilson OBA-211T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 2000g, Traceable. Experience the precision and accuracy you need for reliable results in your laboratory testing.
