Description
School balance KERN EFS 500-2 is a practical weighing instrument conceived as a school balance for experimental teaching, combining straightforward handling with a space-saving stackable format. Simple and comfortable two-button operation makes it well suited to school and instructional settings, so learners and educators can focus on the experiment rather than on complex controls. The tare function simplifies recipe weighing and stepwise addition of components during practical classroom work.
This article is part of Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.
Its particularly flat construction keeps the footprint modest on crowded benches, while rubber feet provide secure, non-slip standing on typical classroom or laboratory surfaces. After use, the units can be stacked for space-saving storage in cupboards or preparation rooms. Practical battery operation using commercially available batteries delivers flexibility and independence from mains adapters, wall sockets and chargers, which is useful when several workstations are set up at once.
Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,45 kg and a gross weight of 0,60 kg, this compact balance from manufacturer Kern supports organised educational weighing without unnecessary complexity. The robust everyday layout suits repeated handling in teaching laboratories and school science rooms.

Questions about School Balance KERN EFS 500-2
What is this article?
School Balance KERN EFS 500-2 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.
