Description
Bench scale FCB 6K-5 is a compact laboratory balance for routine weighing tasks in teaching, quality control and general laboratory environments. It offers a weighing range of 6 kg with a readability of 0,05 g, covering sample preparation, reagent portioning and simple process checks with practical resolution. The unit is supplied complete with a power supply unit and protective hood, so it is ready for bench installation and everyday protection against dust and minor spills. From manufacturer KERN, the FCB 6K-5 belongs to the basic and training balance class, making it suitable where dependable performance and straightforward operation matter more than analytical micro-weighing. Pack size is 1 pc; the instrument weight is 4,500 kg, giving a stable footprint on the laboratory bench. Typical applications include educational laboratories, incoming-goods checks, formulation support and general sample handling within measuring-instrument workflows. The included protective hood helps maintain cleanliness between uses, while the external power supply supports continuous bench operation. Choose this model when a 6 kg capacity and 0,05 g readability match your daily weighing requirements.

What is this article?
Bench scale FCB 6K-5, Weighing range 6 kg, readability 0.05 g, 1 unit(s) 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.
