KERN & SOHN EMB 1200-1 EMB Educational Balance, 1200 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EMB 1200-1 Educational Balance — 1200 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability for Everyday Lab and Classroom Use

Straightforward mass measurement for everyday school science — that is what the KERN & SOHN EMB 1200-1 Educational Balance delivers. A 1200 g capacity combined with 0.1 g readability covers the bulk of secondary and college practical work, while battery operation and a 30-minute warm-up keep it ready on any bench.

Key Features

• 1200 g working range: Extending capacity to 1200 g gives teachers headroom for larger samples, multi-component experiments, and exercises where container plus contents routinely exceed 1 kg.
• Ready in 30 minutes: A 30-minute warm-up time — shorter than finer-resolution EMB models — means the balance is operational early in a class period without special pre-class preparation.
• Battery-powered flexibility: Up to 16 hours of battery life from a 9 V block makes the EMB 1200-1 independent of power outlets, suitable for both in-lab and fieldwork applications.
• 150 mm Ø weighing platform: The 150 mm diameter platform accommodates standard 250 mL and 500 mL laboratory beakers without risk of overhang.
• Adjustable levelling feet: Feet adjust to compensate for uneven bench surfaces, a practical feature in multi-use school labs where furniture condition varies.
• 2-key operation: Two keys — on/off and tare — keep the operating procedure simple enough for first-time users while covering the essential functions needed for most practicals.
• Full-range tare: Full 1200 g tare lets students zero the balance with any vessel or tray, maintaining the focus on net mass measurement throughout a practical.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EMB 1200-1 Educational Balance is built on a strain gauge system with a resolution of 12.000 divisions, delivering 0.1 g readability with 0.1 g reproducibility and ±0.3 g linearity across its 1200 g range. Housing dimensions of 170×245×39 mm keep the footprint compact despite the extended capacity. Both the housing and the 150 mm Ø weighing platform are plastic, making the balance lightweight and easy to store. A 9 V block battery provides 16 hours of use before needing replacement, and an optional mains adapter is available. External calibration is carried out with a 1 kg M1-class weight at a single calibration point. The 3-second stabilization time is consistent with other EMB-series models.

Applications

• General science practicals in secondary school and college laboratories
• Weighing experiments involving beakers, flasks, and mixed chemical reagents
• Food technology and nutrition education where 0.1 g increments are sufficient
• Environmental science fieldwork requiring portable, battery-powered measurement
• Teaching students to use tare, calibrate a balance, and record mass data
