Description
Precision balance KERN EW 420-3NM is a classic laboratory precision balance featuring a robust tuning-fork weighing system. With a maximum load of 0,42 kg and a readability of 0,000001 kg in a fully resolving single-range design, it supports precise sample handling in laboratory and analytical environments. The circular weighing pan has a diameter of 118 mm. A draft shield is fitted as standard and provides a weighing chamber of 158×130×78 mm (W×D×H); a protective working cover is included in the scope of delivery. The balance offers the CAL adjustment programme for setting accuracy with external test weights (available separately), stable temperature behaviour, short settling time, high mechanical robustness and high corner-load safety. An ascending bar-graph capacity display shows the remaining weighing range, and piece-counting summation is supported. This non-legal-for-trade unit from manufacturer Kern is supplied as 1 pc and combines durable construction with clear residual-capacity indication for everyday precision work.
This article is part of Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.

Questions about Precision Balance KERN EW 420-3NM
What is this article?
Precision Balance KERN EW 420-3NM 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.
