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.
NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate is included for users who must provide certification to ISO, FDA, ANSI or other requirements. Report format and contents comply with NVLAP requirements.
The Gilson OBA-289W Calibration Mass is an essential tool for laboratories seeking to maintain accurate measurements and comply with industry regulations. With increasing scrutiny of laboratory equipment, it has become imperative for laboratories to calibrate their own balances, and this product is designed to facilitate that process.
Featuring NIST Class F specifications, this calibration mass is specifically designed for higher capacity balances and scales. The NIST Class F classification ensures accuracy and reliability, making it perfect for use in laboratories where precision is of utmost importance.
Constructed using cast iron, this calibration mass is not only durable but also features integral grip handles for easy handling. The design ensures that the mass can be securely held and positioned during the calibration process, reducing the risk of errors or accidents.
Furthermore, the Gilson OBA-289W Calibration Mass includes an NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate, providing users with the necessary documentation to comply with ISO, FDA, ANSI, or other certification requirements. The report format and contents adhere to NVLAP standards, ensuring credibility and authenticity.
The calibration mass can be used for both span calibration and linearity calibration methods. Span calibration is done using a single mass approximate to the balance's capacity, while linearity calibration allows for the selection of multiple mass settings, such as zero, center (half span), and full span. This versatility ensures accurate calibration across the balance's entire weighing range, minimizing deviation and enhancing measurement accuracy.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-289W Calibration Mass is a reliable and efficient tool for laboratories looking to maintain accurate measurements and comply with industry standards. With its NIST Class F classification, durable construction, and NVLAP Weight Calibration Certificate, this calibration mass proves to be an invaluable asset for any laboratory seeking precision and credibility in their measurements.
