Description
IoT-Line bench scale KERN FKB 15K0.5 is a high-resolution table scale with a large weighing range and a robust stainless-steel weighing plate. Resolution of up to 30.000 points supports precise industrial weighing, including detection of small mass differences such as gas consumption, mechanical wear, rock samples, minerals or silver. A sturdy plastic die-cast housing provides a stable stand, protects the weighing mechanism and withstands everyday use, while compact dimensions still allow heavy loads to be weighed accurately in tight spaces. Industry 4.0 connectivity is built in via the KERN Universal Port (KUP), so external adapters for RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, WLAN or Ethernet can be plugged on without opening the housing; an optional extension box enables up to three KUP adapters in parallel. The KERN Communication Protocol (KCP) permits remote query and control, and PRE-TARE supports manual deduction of known container weights. Freely programmable weighing units, a level indicator with adjustable feet and a protective working cover complete the package from manufacturer Kern for modern laboratory and production benches.

Questions about IoT-Line Bench Scale KERN FKB 15K0.5
What is this article?
IoT-Line Bench Scale KERN FKB 15K0.5 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.
