KERN & SOHN EMB 1000-2 EMB Educational Balance, 1000 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EMB 1000-2 Educational Balance — 1000 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability — Battery-Powered School Balance

Battery operation and a compact flat-pack design make the KERN & SOHN EMB 1000-2 Educational Balance ready to use wherever a power outlet is unavailable. With 1000 g capacity and 0.01 g readability, it handles the core measurements of most science practicals from a 170×244×39 mm plastic housing that fits neatly in a storage cabinet.

Key Features

• Battery-powered portability: A standard 9 V block battery delivers up to 16 hours of operating time, keeping the balance running through a full school day without connecting to mains power.
• 1000 g / 0.01 g performance: 100,000-division resolution across the 1000 g range gives 0.01 g readability — suitable for chemistry exercises where reagent masses must be measured precisely.
• Slim 39 mm profile: At only 39 mm tall, the EMB 1000-2 stores flat in equipment drawers and stacks efficiently, simplifying classroom inventory management.
• 150 mm Ø weighing platform: The larger 150 mm platform diameter accommodates standard laboratory beakers and petri dishes, reducing the need for platform adapters.
• Full 1000 g tare function: Full-range tare eliminates container weight in one key press, letting students focus data recording on net sample mass.
• External calibration: A 1 kg F1-class external weight sets the calibration point, giving students hands-on experience of the traceable calibration process.
• Mains adapter option: An optional plug-in power adapter supplements battery operation for extended classroom sessions or when battery replacement is impractical.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EMB 1000-2 Educational Balance uses a strain gauge weighing system to deliver 0.01 g readability across a 1000 g capacity with 100.000 divisions of resolution. The flat housing — 170×244×39 mm — is made from impact-resistant plastic, and the 150 mm Ø plastic weighing plate can be removed for cleaning. Reproducibility is rated at 0.01 g with ±0.05 g linearity, and stabilization takes just 2.5 seconds. The 2-key operation panel keeps exercises simple: on/off and tare. A 120-minute warm-up is required to reach full rated accuracy, making early setup important in laboratory sessions. Battery life of 16 hours from a single 9 V block covers multi-period use without interruption.

Applications

• Science classrooms without fixed power points or with shared bench space
• Field biology and outdoor environmental science sample collection
• Teaching basic measurement, tare function, and uncertainty concepts
• Chemistry practicals requiring 0.01 g resolution at up to 1 kg
• Student laboratory sessions in secondary schools and colleges
