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.
ASTM Class 4 weights are satin-finished 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.
ASTM Class 4 weights are perfect for most balances less sensitive than 0.01g and applications having average accuracy requirements.
The Gilson OBA-417 Calibration Mass Set is an essential tool for laboratories that need to calibrate their own balances. With the increasing demand for more sophisticated testing and more frequent auditing, it has become necessary for laboratories to have the capability to calibrate their equipment accurately.
The Calibration Masses in this set are designed to check span and linearity and calibrate electronic balances. They are available in a range of weights from 1g to 100g, allowing for precise calibrations. The commonly used Span Calibration method involves using a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. However, for balances that use the Linearity Calibration method, this set offers multiple mass settings, including zero, center (half span), and full span. This ensures minimal deviation throughout the balance's weighing range, providing accurate and reliable measurements.
The ASTM Class 4 weights in this set are made from satin-finished stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity. The 10kg and 20kg weights are equipped with recessed grip handles, making them easier to handle and stack. The individual weights, ranging from 10g to 4,000g, come with a protective, foam-lined plastic case and a glove, ensuring safe storage and handling.
These ASTM Class 4 weights are specifically designed for balances that are less sensitive than 0.01g and applications with average accuracy requirements. They provide the perfect balance between precision and practicality, making them ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications.
Investing in the Gilson OBA-417 Calibration Mass Set will give laboratories the confidence and reliability they need for accurate measurements and testing. With its high-quality construction and comprehensive weight range, this set is an essential tool for any laboratory that needs to calibrate its own balances.
