Description
Compact laboratory balance KERN PCD 2500-2 is a high-resolution precision balance for flexible laboratory weighing. With a maximum load of 2,5 kg and a readability of 0,00001 kg, it delivers accurate results on a 160 × 160 mm weighing pan. The detachable evaluation unit and separate platform make this model from manufacturer Kern especially practical for work in glove boxes or under laboratory fume hoods, and for weighing toxic, volatile or contaminated substances. A PRE-TARE function supports manual subtraction of a known container weight, which is useful for fill-quantity checks. Freely programmable weighing units allow direct display in application-specific measures such as thread length in g/m or paper weight in g/m². A spirit level and levelling feet are supplied as standard for exact setup and reliable weighing results. A protective working cover is included with the instrument. The compact design suits everyday precision and fine weighing tasks in research, analytical and quality-control laboratories.

Questions about Compact Laboratory Balance KERN PCD, 2500-2
What is this article?
Compact Laboratory Balance KERN PCD, 2500-2 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.
