About NABL accredited Weights
NABL accredited Weights
The carat, the standard unit of weight for diamonds and other gemstones,takes its name from the carob seed. Because these small seeds had affirly uniform weight, early gem traders used them as counter weights in their balance scales. The modern metric carat, equal to 0.2 grams,was adopted by the United States in 1913 and other countries soon after. Today, a carat weighs exactly the same in every corner of the world.
Superior Accuracy and CertificationThese laboratory weights are manufactured according to stringent OIML R111-1 class requirements and come with an NABL-accredited calibration certificate, affirming their traceability and reliability for crucial calibration processes. Their high accuracy makes them ideal for laboratory balances and critical industrial applications. The weights meet national and international standards, guaranteeing consistent performance.
Comprehensive Protection and DurabilityEach weight is housed in a customized fitted box, either aluminum, wood, or plastic, alongside essential accessories like gloves, forceps, and dust brushes. The polished or plated finishes enhance corrosion resistance, while laser-engraved or stamped markings ensure durability. When properly cared for, these weights offer unlimited shelf life, maintaining their precision for years.
Versatile Applications and Easy HandlingThese weights are designed for a wide variety of calibration and verification tasks in both laboratories and industrial environments. With a diverse range of classes and nominal values, users can select the most suitable set for their weighing requirements. The free-standing or boxed design allows for flexible use, and each weight's immediate response time ensures efficient calibration processes.
FAQ's of NABL accredited Weights:
Q: How are NABL accredited weights calibrated and certified?
A: Each weight is calibrated using traceable methods in a NABL-accredited laboratory and is supplied with a valid certificate that ensures compliance with national and international standards such as OIML R111-1 and ISO 17025.
Q: What materials are used to manufacture these laboratory weights?
A: Depending on the desired class and specification, the weights are made from steel, brass, or iron with either a mirror-polished or painted/plated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Q: When should I recalibrate my NABL accredited weights?
A: It is recommended to recalibrate these weights every 1 year to ensure continued accuracy, as per standard laboratory practice and industry guidelines.
Q: Where can these weights be used?
A: These weights are suitable for use in laboratories and industrial settings across India for the calibration and verification of weighing balances with a measuring range from 1 mg up to 20 kg.
Q: What is the process for handling and storing these weights?
A: The weights should be handled with the provided gloves and forceps, cleaned with the dust brush, and stored in their individual fitted cases to prevent contamination and damage, ensuring long-term accuracy and shelf life.
Q: How do the different OIML classes (E1, E2, F1, etc.) affect usage?
A: The OIML class determines the accuracy and tolerance of the weights, with E1 and E2 intended for highly precise laboratory calibrations, and F1 through M3 for more general industrial applications and varying degrees of resolution.
Q: What are the benefits of using NABL accredited weights in calibrations?
A: Utilizing NABL accredited weights ensures accurate, reliable calibration results, traceability to national standards, and compliance with regulatory requirements, thereby enhancing the credibility of laboratory and industrial measurements.
