Description
Hook for spring balances KERN 287-A02 is a purpose-built accessory intended for spring balances in the 10 g to 1000 g range. It enables secure suspension of samples or loads during accurate weighing procedures in laboratory, industrial and instructional settings. With a net weight of 0,05 kg and identical gross weight, the hook remains easy to handle and store. Packaging dimensions are 0,005 m height, 0,04 m width and 0,025 m depth, corresponding to a volume of 0,000005 m³. Delivered as one piece, this component attaches readily to matching spring-balance models and falls under the accessories-for-scales category. Offered by manufacturer Kern and manufactured in Switzerland, the hook supports stable force or mass measurements without introducing unnecessary mass or bulk. Its simple yet robust form allows quick interchange with other fixtures when different sample geometries are required. The accessory therefore enhances the everyday flexibility of spring balances used for routine and specialised light-load determinations up to 1000 g.

Questions about Hook KERN 287-A02
What is this article?
Hook KERN 287-A02 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
These are the draft shields, the pans, the ionisers, the printers and the calibration certificates that belong to a balance. A certificate states the errors found at stated loads. It does not make a different balance correct.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
