KERN & SOHN EMB 5.2K1 EMB Educational Balance, 5200 g Capacity, 1 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EMB 5.2K1 Educational Balance — 5200 g Capacity, 1 g Readability — High-Capacity School Balance

For practical work involving large mass samples, the KERN & SOHN EMB 5.2K1 Educational Balance extends capacity to 5200 g — well beyond most educational instruments — while retaining 1 g readability and 35-hour battery life. Its compact flat housing and simple 2-key operation make it easy to deploy in any school setting.

Key Features

• 5200 g maximum capacity: Covering over 5 kg with 1 g readability, the EMB 5.2K1 enables weighing exercises involving large containers, bulk powders, and combined materials that exceed standard 2–3 kg class balances.
• 35-hour battery life: Up to 35 hours from a single 9 V block delivers multi-day endurance for fieldwork programmes and reduces battery replacement frequency in busy school labs.
• 10-minute warm-up: Only a 10-minute warm-up before operation — matching the quicker end of the EMB range — means the balance is ready well within a single lab period.
• 150 mm Ø large platform: The 150 mm diameter platform handles 1 L flasks and large-sample containers with ease, making it practical for food technology and environmental science subjects.
• 5200 g full tare range: Tare over the full 5200 g allows students to use any suitably-sized container and still obtain an accurate net sample reading.
• M1-class external calibration: The 5 kg M1 calibration weight exposes students to the scale of reference masses needed for high-capacity instruments.
• Strain gauge weighing system: Proven strain gauge technology delivers 1 g reproducibility and ±3 g linearity throughout the 5200 g range reliably during routine classroom use.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EMB 5.2K1 Educational Balance is the highest-capacity standard EMB model, reaching 5200 g at 1 g readability with 5.200 divisions. The strain gauge system achieves 1 g reproducibility and ±3 g linearity within the compact 170×244×39 mm flat plastic housing. At 35 hours, the 9 V block battery life is among the longest in the EMB series. An optional mains adapter is available. Warm-up time is a convenient 10 minutes. The 150 mm Ø plastic platform and 2-key operating panel keep set-up and use simple for students of all levels. Calibration uses a 5 kg M1-class external weight at a single point. Maximum creep in 15 minutes is controlled to under 5 g.

Applications

• Food technology and catering science practicals with large batches
• Environmental sampling exercises involving soil cores, rocks, and mixed material
• Teaching the relationship between capacity, readability, and reference weight size
• Agriculture and horticulture education requiring kilogram-level weighing accuracy
• High-volume student practical sessions requiring a single wide-range instrument
