Description
Compact laboratory balance KERN PCD 6K-4 is a high-resolution precision balance fitted with a detachable evaluation unit to give maximum flexibility in the laboratory. Its separate platform design is ideal for work in glove boxes or under laboratory fume hoods and is especially practical for weighing toxic, volatile or contaminated substances. The PRE-TARE function enables manual pre-deduction of a known container weight, supporting efficient fill-quantity controls. A freely programmable weighing unit allows results to be shown directly in specialised units such as thread length in g/m or paper weight in g/m². Spirit level and foot screws are included as standard so the instrument can be levelled exactly for accurate weighing results. The weighing pan measures 160 mm in width by 160 mm in depth. A protective working cover is supplied in the scope of delivery. This compact laboratory balance from manufacturer Kern comes as 1 pc, with a net weight of 1,8 kg and a gross weight of 2,2 kg, and is intended for flexible precision weighing tasks in research and routine laboratory environments.
This article is part of Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.

Questions about Compact Laboratory Balance KERN PCD 6K-4
What is this article?
Compact Laboratory Balance KERN PCD 6K-4 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.
