Description
Large glass draught shield KERN 572-A05 is a protective enclosure accessory for precision balances, designed to reduce air currents and environmental disturbance during sensitive weighing. It features three sliding doors that provide comfortable access to the sample while maintaining a stable micro-environment around the weighing pan. The shield is suitable for precision balances KERN 572, KERN PKP and KERN PKT, specifically models with a weighing pan diameter of Ø 106 mm. Offered by manufacturer Kern as a single-piece unit, it supports accurate routine and analytical weighing where draught protection is essential. Net weight is 0,50 kg and gross weight 0,65 kg, reflecting a robust yet manageable glass construction for laboratory benches. By limiting air movement and operator-induced turbulence, the enclosure helps improve repeatability when handling small masses or hygroscopic materials. Installation on matching pan sizes keeps the workflow ergonomic thanks to the three-door layout. This accessory is intended for laboratories that require reliable draught shielding on the listed Kern precision balance platforms without altering the instrument’s core weighing performance.

Questions about Large glass draught shield KERN 572-A05
What is this article?
Large glass draught shield KERN 572-A05 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
These are the draft shields, the pans, the ionisers, the printers and the calibration certificates that belong to a balance. A certificate states the errors found at stated loads. It does not make a different balance correct.
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.
