Description
Precision balance KERN PLJ 420-3F is a compact laboratory precision balance for fine weighing tasks, with a maximum load of 0,42 kg and a resolution of 0,000001 kg. It uses a 110 mm weighing pan and is fitted as standard with a ring-shaped draft shield that defines a weighing chamber of Ø×H 150×60 mm for stable results on smaller samples. An internal recipe database stores up to 99 recipes with up to 20 components each, including name and target value, and keeps complete formulations available for recall. Graphic-display operation with display-supported guidance and plain-text menus in DE, EN, FR, IT, ES and PT supports fast, clear workflows. High-stability mode and selectable filter settings assist dosing, while internal automatic adjustment maintains accuracy independent of location and is suitable for verification-relevant applications. A protective working cover is included. This model from manufacturer Kern belongs to a precision series built for wide weighing ranges and reliable laboratory use.

Questions about Precision Balance KERN PLJ 420-3F
What is this article?
Precision Balance KERN PLJ 420-3F is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Precision balances, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A precision balance reads more coarsely than an analytical balance, often 1 mg or 10 mg, and it takes a heavier pan load. It is the balance for preparing bulk reagents. Draft, level and a warm-up still move the last digit.
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.
