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-202T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 20g, Traceable is an essential tool for laboratories that require precise calibration of their electronic balances. As testing becomes more advanced and auditing becomes more frequent, it is crucial for laboratories to have the ability to calibrate their own equipment accurately.
This calibration mass is specifically designed for the Span Calibration method, which uses a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This method ensures that the balance is functioning within the specified range and minimizes any deviation throughout the weighing process. Additionally, some balances may also utilize the Linearity Calibration method, which allows for the selection of multiple mass settings, further enhancing accuracy.
The Ultra Class weights included in this set are of the highest quality, boasting weight tolerances that are 40-50% tighter than ASTM Class 1 weights and equal to or exceeding OIML Class E2 weights. These weights are made of highly polished stainless steel, ensuring durability and accuracy. The 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack.
Moreover, the individual weights ranging from 10g to 4,000g come with a protective, foam-lined plastic case and a glove for safe handling. This ensures that the weights are protected during transportation and storage, maintaining their accuracy and longevity.
The Gilson OBA-202T Calibration Mass also comes with a Traceable Certificate, showcasing its traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and compliance with ASTM or OIML specifications. The certificate includes crucial information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. This certificate provides assurance to laboratories that the calibration mass has undergone rigorous testing and meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-202T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 20g, Traceable is an indispensable tool for laboratories that demand superior accuracy in their weighing processes. With its precision, durability, and traceability, this calibration mass ensures that laboratory balances are calibrated to the highest standards, providing reliable and accurate results.
