Description
Mechanical personal scale KERN MGC 100K-1S05 is a robust classic instrument for rapid determination of body weight in professional environments. Timeless design meets stable construction, with a large, clearly readable circular dial and a generous standing platform finished in non-slip plastic. Rubber feet ensure secure, slip-resistant placement on clinic, laboratory or workplace floors. Operation is deliberately simple: set the scale in position, step on and read the indicated value; convenient fine adjustment of the display is performed with a setting wheel. Maximum load is 150 kg at a resolution of 1 kg, covering typical personal weighing needs in healthcare, occupational medicine and sports facilities. This model from manufacturer Kern is supplied in individual design packaging and is offered here as a pack of 5 pieces for multi-room or multi-site use. Net weight is 16 kg and gross weight 18 kg, reflecting the solid mechanical build. Ideal wherever durable, mains-independent person weighing is required without electronic complexity.

Questions about Mechanical personal floor scale KERN MGC, 100K-1S05
What is this article?
Mechanical personal floor scale KERN MGC, 100K-1S05 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Bench, platform & industrial scales, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A bench, platform or industrial scale takes kilograms to tonnes, with a platform instead of a small pan. Resolution is coarser. The load cell and the platform size are the specification. It is the scale for a drum or a packed goods check, not for a milligram of standard.
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.
