Description
Precision balance KERN FEJ 17K-4M is a high-capacity laboratory balance designed for demanding weighing tasks where robustness, hygiene and controlled user access matter. The unit features a stainless-steel evaluation device with IP65 protection (EN 60529), making it dust- and splash-resistant, hygienic and easy to clean, while the metal housing provides a stable, durable platform. Password-protected user management assigns clear operator identity and helps prevent unauthorised access, supporting pharmacy-oriented workflows. Freely programmable function keys allow individual configuration of daily routines. Data-integrity support aligned with U.S. FDA 21 CFR Part 11 covers elements such as weighing result, sample ID, username and balance ID. Internal automatic adjustment maintains high accuracy and reduces dependence on installation location; optional verification is available. A protective working cover is included in the scope of delivery. This model from manufacturer Kern suits regulated and industrial laboratory environments that need a rugged precision balance with documented user control. Net weight is 19 kg and gross weight 26 kg for handling and installation planning.

Questions about Precision Balances KERN FEJ 17K-4M
What is this article?
Precision Balances KERN FEJ 17K-4M 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.
