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.
NIST Class F Calibration Masses are available for higher capacity balances and scales. Fabricated of cast iron with integral grip handles.
NIST Class F weights are perfect for higher capacity, less sensitive balances and scales.
The Gilson OBA-278 Calibration Mass is specifically designed for laboratories that require more sophisticated testing and frequent auditing of their equipment. With the increasing need for precise calibration of balances, this calibration mass provides an essential tool for accurate measurements.
The Span Calibration method, commonly used in laboratories, involves using a single mass approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. By checking the span and linearity of the balance, this method ensures that accurate measurements can be achieved consistently. Additionally, some balances utilize the Linearity Calibration method, which allows for multiple mass settings, minimizing deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
This particular calibration mass is classified as NIST Class F, making it suitable for higher capacity balances and scales. Made from durable cast iron, it is built to last and withstand rigorous use in laboratory environments. The integral grip handles provide convenience and ease of handling during the calibration process.
