Description
IoT-Line bench scale KERN FKB 16K0.05 is a high-resolution table scale offering a maximum load of 16 kg and a resolution of 0,00005 kg, corresponding to up to 320.000 points for highly precise industrial weighing. The robust stainless-steel weighing plate and plastic die-cast housing deliver a stable stand, protect the measuring system and remain durable in daily use. Large capacity combined with compact outer dimensions allows heavy loads to be weighed accurately even in confined workspaces, which is useful when tracking minute weight changes such as consumed gas, abrasion on mechanical parts, geological samples, minerals or silver. Integrated KERN Universal Port (KUP) connectivity supports plug-on adapters for RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, WLAN or Ethernet without opening the housing, and an extension box can run up to three adapters in parallel. KERN Communication Protocol (KCP) enables remote interrogation and control, while PRE-TARE handles known tare weights for fill checks. Freely programmable units, spirit level with levelling feet and a protective cover are included with this model from manufacturer Kern.

Questions about IoT-Line Bench Scale KERN FKB 16K0.05
What is this article?
IoT-Line Bench Scale KERN FKB 16K0.05 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.
