KERN & SOHN EMB 3000-1 EMB Educational Balance, 3000 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EMB 3000-1 Educational Balance — 3000 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability for Wide-Range Classroom Weighing

Science departments that routinely weigh large multi-component samples will find the KERN & SOHN EMB 3000-1 Educational Balance well-suited to their needs. With 3000 g capacity and 0.1 g readability on battery power, it covers general practical work from small reagent measures up to large combined loads within a single instrument.

Key Features

• 3000 g wide-range capacity: A 3000 g upper limit accommodates large flask assemblies, multi-ingredient food technology samples, and environmental samples that would exceed the range of standard school balances.
• 30,000-division resolution: 30.000 divisions across the 3000 g range maintains 0.1 g readability at all load levels, delivering consistent results throughout each practical session.
• Battery-powered portability: Nine-volt block battery operation for up to 16 hours allows the balance to be used in field settings, outdoor labs, or classrooms without convenient power access.
• 150 mm Ø platform: The generous 150 mm diameter platform easily accommodates 1 L laboratory vessels, large Petri dishes, and other wide-base containers without risk of toppling.
• Full 3000 g tare range: Tare operates over the entire 3000 g capacity, meaning even heavy containers can be zeroed before measuring sample mass.
• M1-class external calibration: A single 3 kg M1-class calibration point teaches students that larger-range instruments require larger reference weights — a practical metrology lesson.
• Compact flat-profile housing: The 170×245×39 mm housing remains slim despite the extended capacity, stacking efficiently in storage and clearing bench space for other equipment.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EMB 3000-1 Educational Balance handles 3000 g at 0.1 g readability using a strain gauge weighing system with 30.000 divisions. Reproducibility is 0.1 g with ±0.3 g linearity. The compact 170×245×39 mm plastic housing and 150 mm Ø plastic weighing platform are consistent with the standard EMB form factor, keeping the balance easy to handle and store. Battery life is 16 hours from a 9 V block, and an optional mains adapter is available. Stabilization reaches 3 seconds. The 120-minute warm-up time means the balance is best started early in a laboratory session to achieve fully rated accuracy. External calibration is performed with a 3 kg M1 reference weight at a single point.

Applications

• Food technology and nutrition education with large ingredient volumes
• Environmental science practicals involving soil, water, and mixed-material samples
• Biology and ecology fieldwork where large sample masses are common
• General science practicals requiring a single balance to cover a wide mass range
• Teaching tare and calibration with larger-mass reference weights

Why Choose the KERN & SOHN EMB 3000-1?

Laboratories that need 3 kg capacity without giving up portability or 0.1 g precision will find the KERN & SOHN EMB 3000-1 Educational Balance right for the task. Available at Weighcore.
