KERN & SOHN EHA 500-2 EHA Educational Balance, 500 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EHA 500-2 Educational Balance — 500 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability for Science Education

For teaching situations where finer measurement matters, the KERN & SOHN EHA 500-2 Educational Balance offers 500 g capacity with 0.01 g readability — ten times finer than the standard EHA 500-1. A single aluminium load cell, 6-digit backlit LCD, and a stainless steel pan set up quickly on any classroom bench.

Key Features

• 0.01 g readability at 500 g: A 50,000-division resolution across the full 500 g range gives students measurably tighter results for chemistry exercises and comparative mass experiments.
• Aluminium load cell: Single aluminium load cell provides consistent, low-hysteresis response at the fine 0.01 g increment, maintaining 0.03 g reproducibility throughout the day.
• Backlit LCD display: Six-segment backlit display keeps digits legible under fluorescent lab lighting and aids students with the visual precision needed for accurate data recording.
• Built-in piece counting: A counting function supports exercises where students determine the number of small objects by mass — particularly useful in physics and chemistry practicals.
• Stainless steel weighing plate: The 105 mm Ø pan resists chemical attack from reagents and food samples and wipes down between groups without corrosion concern.
• Level indicator and adjustable feet: Bubble level indicator and adjustable levelling feet ensure the balance starts every session correctly levelled for accurate readings.
• External calibration with F2-class weights: Calibration points at 200 g and 500 g using F2-class weights introduce students to traceable calibration procedures at a higher accuracy tier.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EHA 500-2 Educational Balance delivers 500 g / 0.01 g performance in the same compact 225×160×50 mm ABS housing as the standard EHA family. A single aluminium load cell drives 50.000 divisions of resolution, producing 0.03 g reproducibility and ±0.03 g linearity — figures that approach entry-level precision balances at a school-appropriate price point. The 105 mm Ø stainless steel weighing plate accepts standard beakers and sample trays. Stabilization takes 3 seconds and the balance requires a 120-minute warm-up to reach its rated accuracy, which is worth noting when planning lesson schedules. Calibration is performed with 200 g or 500 g F2-class external weights through the 5-key front panel.

Applications

• Upper secondary and college chemistry practicals requiring sub-0.1 g accuracy
• Teaching calibration procedures and metrology principles
• Comparative density and mass experiments in physics classes
• Biology sample weighing where 0.01 g resolution distinguishes meaningful differences
• Student experiments with chemical reagents and small compound samples
