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 1 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.
ASTM Class 1 masses are perfect for analytical balances and applications requiring first-order accuracy.
The Gilson OBA-301 Calibration Mass, ASTM Class 1, 10g is designed to meet the increasing demand for accurate calibration of laboratory balances. In today's world, where sophisticated testing and frequent audits are the norm, it is crucial for laboratories to have the ability to calibrate their own equipment. This calibration mass is the perfect tool for the job.
The Span Calibration method is widely used and requires a single mass that is approximately equal to the capacity of the balance. This calibration mass allows laboratories to check the span and linearity of their electronic balances. On the other hand, some balances use the Linearity Calibration method, which allows the user to select multiple mass settings. This method minimizes any deviation throughout the balance's weighing range.
The Gilson OBA-301 Calibration Mass is made from highly polished stainless steel, ensuring its durability and longevity. The 10g mass is part of the ASTM Class 1 range, which is known for its first-order accuracy. The mass also features recessed grip handles, making it easier to handle and stack. This is particularly useful for the 10kg and 20kg weights, which can be quite cumbersome otherwise.
To ensure the safety and protection of the calibration mass, it comes with a glove and a protective, foam-lined plastic case. This ensures that the mass is well-preserved and can be easily stored and transported when needed.
In conclusion, the Gilson OBA-301 Calibration Mass, ASTM Class 1, 10g is a high-quality and reliable tool for laboratories in need of accurate calibration. With its excellent craftsmanship, ease of use, and protective features, it is the perfect choice for analytical balances and applications requiring first-order accuracy. Trust the Gilson OBA-301 Calibration Mass for all your calibration needs.
