Description
Precision balance KERN PWS 8000-1 is a high-resolution stainless-steel laboratory scale intended for precise weighing tasks. Its high-quality tuning fork weighing system provides fast display of the weighing value, point-accurate dosing and high mechanical robustness. Housing and weighing plate are stainless steel, remaining rust-free and easy to clean thanks to smooth surfaces. Dust and splash-water protection IP65 according to EN 60529 shields the instrument against laboratory contaminants. A spirit level and foot screws come as standard for exact leveling of the balance. An RS-232 data interface is fitted as standard for printer connection. This precision balance from manufacturer Kern is supplied as one piece with a net weight of 3,0 kg and a gross weight of 4,2 kg. It suits laboratory, fine and precision weighing applications needing durable construction and straightforward hygiene. Stainless-steel design, IP65 sealing and tuning-fork technology support reliable daily use in professional laboratory environments.

Questions about Precision Balances KERN PWS 8000-1
What is this article?
Precision Balances KERN PWS 8000-1 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.
