Description
IP-protected bench scale KERN FFN, 3K0.5IPN is a compact stainless-steel table scale for precise hygienic and industrial weighing up to 3 kg. Its resolution of 0,0005 kg supports fine portioning, formulation checks and laboratory tasks where higher readability is required. Protected to IP65 against dust and splash water during battery operation, the instrument features a stainless housing and weighing plate that resist corrosion and clean easily, matching elevated hygiene expectations in food, pharmaceutical and chemical settings and supporting HACCP-oriented quality systems. Battery power and a light, compact build give high mobility for use across kitchens, sales areas, canteens and food laboratories, while underside grip recesses simplify transport. The design is also suited to rough industrial duty. Offered as one piece from manufacturer Kern, this all-round bench scale unites fine resolution, cleanability and portable construction for professional multi-location weighing.

Questions about IP Protected Bench Scale KERN FFN, 3K0.5IPN
What is this article?
IP Protected Bench Scale KERN FFN, 3K0.5IPN 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.
