Description
Precision balance KERN PLS 1200-3A is a high-quality laboratory scale combining a comfortable graphic display with a wide weighing range up to 1,2 kg and a readability of 0,000001 kg. The single-range design and 110 mm weighing pan support accurate routine weighing, while a ring-shaped draft shield is included as standard, providing a weighing chamber of ∅×H 150×60 mm. Recipe work is streamlined via an internal database that stores up to 99 recipes with as many as 20 components each, including name and target value, with display-guided operation. Selectable high-stability mode and filter settings aid dosing, and plain-text user guidance is available in DE, EN, FR, IT, ES and PT. A CAL adjustment program allows accuracy setting with external test weights, and a protective working cover is supplied. This precision balance from manufacturer Kern suits formulation, dosing and general laboratory weighing tasks where clear guidance and a large capacity are required.

Questions about Precision Balances KERN PLS 1200-3A
What is this article?
Precision Balances KERN PLS 1200-3A 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.
