Description
Precision balance KERN FES 17K-4 is a high-load precision balance built for demanding laboratory and industrial weighing where robustness, hygiene and controlled user access matter. The stainless steel evaluation unit carries protection rating IP65, so it is hygienic and easy to clean, while the metal housing provides a robust, stable platform for daily use. Password-protected user management assigns each operator clearly and helps prevent unauthorised access, supporting pharmaceutical and regulated environments. Freely assignable function keys allow the instrument to be adapted to specific workflows. Dust and splash protection conforms to IP65 according to EN 60529. A CAL adjustment programme enables accuracy setting with external test weights available separately. Data integrity features support U.S. FDA 21 Part 11 requirements, covering elements such as weighing result, sample ID, user name and balance ID. A protective working cover is included in the scope of delivery. Offered as one piece from manufacturer Kern, this FES 17K-4 model suits pharmacies, QC laboratories and production areas that need a durable high-load precision balance with documented user control and cleanable surfaces.
This article is part of Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.

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