KERN 572 Precisions balance

KERN 572 Precision Balance

The KERN 572 precision balance is a high-quality laboratory balance for professional applications in industry, laboratories and research. It is ideal for precise measurements of a wide variety of materials - from chemicals and foodstuffs to cosmetic and pharmaceutical substances. With exceptional measuring accuracy, flexible weighing ranges and a robust, chemical-resistant design, this model sets standards in the field of laboratory and industrial scales. Compared to conventional precision scales, it impresses with its wide range of applications, user-friendly operation and digital interfaces, which enable efficient workflows even in complex laboratory environments.

Performance features and technical details

Optimised for demanding working environments, this precision balance covers numerous requirements in laboratories, quality control, production and development. The most important technical highlights include:

• Weighing ranges: 240 g, 300 g, 420 g, 1.6 kg, 2.4 kg, 3 kg, 4.2 kg, 10 kg, 12 kg, 16 kg, 20 kg, 24 kg
• Readability: Selectable between 0.001 g, 0.01 g, 0.05 g and 0.1 g - for maximum precision, adapted to the respective application
• Display: Large, backlit display for optimum readability even in poor lighting conditions
• Operating concept: Intuitive, clear button operation for quick access to all basic functions
• Interfaces: Model-dependent option for automatic data transfer (e.g. via RS-232/USB) directly to a PC or laboratory information systems
• Protective functions: Housing protected against dirt and chemical influences, increased durability and minimised maintenance requirements
• Versatile weighing units: Several units available, including grams, milligrams, carats, pounds, etc., selectable depending on the task at hand

Thanks to its compact design, it can be integrated into any laboratory or production environment to save space. The robust construction in combination with the IP protection class ensures long-lasting, low-maintenance operation even under high loads and in heavily frequented locations. The standard manufacturer's warranty also secures your long-term investment.

Special features: The KERN 572 is an exceptionally flexible precision measuring instrument: it covers a unique weighing range from a few hundred milligrams up to 24 kg and can therefore be used just as reliably for microanalyses as it can as a robust industrial scale. The chemical- and dirt-resistant construction rounds off the profile of this professional instrument. Certifications and standards

This model complies with current international quality standards for laboratory balances and meets all relevant standards (including CE conformity). Compliance with additional safety and calibration guidelines (e.g. according to DIN ISO) allows for unrestricted use in regulated environments such as pharmaceutical quality control or accredited testing.

Practical application examples

• Chemical analyses: Precise weighing and dosing of solids, liquids and powders such as reagents, acids, solvents or polymers in synthesis, quality control or training.
• Food laboratory: Precise determination of additives, spices, vitamins and trace elements for sample preparation or recipe development.
• Cosmetics production: Dosing of active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, plant extracts or fragrances in the manufacture of creams, lotions and masks.
• University research: Weighing small quantities of chemicals, substances and samples for the preparation of experiments and analyses in physical, chemical and biological laboratories.
• Pharmaceutical development: Creating precise drug mixtures, weighing excipients or APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients).
• Quality assurance in industry: Random checks of material weights (e.g. plastics, metals, powders) during the production process.

FAQs

Which calibration methods are supported?

The precision balance supports both internal and external calibration. The selection of the calibration mode depends on the laboratory specifications and the desired accuracy standards.

How does automatic data transfer work?

An RS-232 or USB interface is available on the corresponding models. This allows weighing results to be automatically transferred to a connected computer or laboratory system.

Is it possible to operate the balance flexibly with different weighing units?

Yes, the balance can be switched to different weighing units (g, mg, ct, lb, oz, etc.), making it particularly versatile.

How often should the device be serviced?

Thanks to its low-maintenance design and chemical-resistant materials, maintenance requirements are minimal. An annual routine check is recommended to ensure high precision over the long term.

Can the device be used for applications requiring calibration?

Certain versions of the balance are prepared for official calibration in accordance with European directives and can be certified accordingly.
