Description
IP-protected bench scale KERN WTB 3K-4N is a compact bench scale offering a maximum load of 3 kg at a fine resolution of 0,0005 kg. Built for the higher hygienic requirements of the food industry, it supports HACCP-oriented quality workflows and provides IP65 dust and splash protection during battery operation. Weighing results stabilise in about 2 s, and a rear-facing secondary display allows convenient reading from either side of the instrument. Checkweighing with a colour-changing display (too light / OK / too heavy) streamlines portioning, dosing and sorting tasks. Compact construction is advantageous where bench space is limited; optional battery power plus underside grip recesses support mobile use at several locations. A protective working cover is supplied as standard. The scale from manufacturer Kern combines fast response, clear tolerance indication and practical mobility for laboratory and production environments that demand reliable, hygiene-conscious weighing.

Questions about IP Protected Bench Scale KERN WTB 3K-4N
What is this article?
IP Protected Bench Scale KERN WTB 3K-4N 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.
