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-208T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 400g, Traceable is the perfect solution for laboratories in need of highly accurate calibration weights. As laboratories face more rigorous testing and auditing requirements, it has become essential to calibrate their own balances. This calibration mass is designed to check span and linearity and calibrate electronic balances effectively.
One of the commonly used calibration methods is the Span Calibration method, which involves using a single mass approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. However, some balances utilize the Linearity Calibration method, allowing users to select multiple mass settings to minimize deviation throughout the weighing range. The Gilson OBA-208T Calibration Mass accommodates both methods, making it versatile and suitable for a wide range of balances.
The Ultra Class weights included in this product offer weight tolerances that are 40-50% tighter than ASTM Class 1 weights and are equal to or surpass OIML Class E2 standards. These highly polished stainless steel weights are not only accurate but also durable. The 10kg and 20kg weights feature recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack.
In addition to their accuracy and durability, the Ultra Class weights are specifically designed for use with analytical and sensitive balances. Whether you're working in a scientific research facility, pharmaceutical laboratory, or any application that demands superior accuracy, these weights will meet your needs.
Each Gilson OBA-208T Calibration Mass comes with a Traceable Certificate, which documents traceability to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and compliance with either ASTM or OIML specifications. The certificate includes essential information such as the nominal value and correction, date of calibration, accuracy class, customer name, and purchase order number. This ensures that you can maintain a comprehensive record of your calibration process and prove compliance with industry standards.
To further protect and organize your weights, each individual weight from 10-4,000g comes with a protective, foam-lined plastic case along with a glove for safe handling.
Invest in the Gilson OBA-208T Calibration Mass, Ultra Class, 400g, Traceable to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your lab equipment calibration. With its superior accuracy, durability, and traceability documentation, this calibration mass is a must-have for any precision laboratory.
