KERN & SOHN EMB 6000-1 EMB Educational Balance, 6000 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EMB 6000-1 Educational Balance — 6000 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability — Maximum-Range Educational Balance

Reaching 6000 g capacity while maintaining 0.1 g readability, the KERN & SOHN EMB 6000-1 Educational Balance is designed for practical work with the heaviest samples typically encountered in school science. A 60,000-division resolution and 25-hour battery life support sustained daily use in demanding laboratory programmes.

Key Features

• 6000 g maximum capacity: A 6 kg top range covers the largest vessels and sample combinations found in food technology, environmental science, and materials testing practicals.
• 60,000-division resolution: 60.000 divisions across 6000 g maintains a consistent 0.1 g readability from minimum detectable weight through to maximum capacity.
• 25-hour battery life: Twenty-five hours from a single 9 V block sustains the balance across multiple school days without a battery change — particularly valuable in labs with large class cohorts.
• 150 mm Ø platform: The 150 mm Ø weighing platform — large for an educational balance at any capacity — accommodates wide-based vessels and multi-container weighing setups.
• 0.1 g reproducibility: Reproducibility of 0.1 g at up to 6 kg means students can repeat measurements and expect consistent results suitable for statistical analysis tasks.
• Full 6000 g tare range: Tare over the complete range allows large and heavy containers to be zeroed at any load level, maintaining clean net-mass readings throughout.
• External calibration with M1 weight: A 5 kg M1 calibration point demonstrates to students the relationship between balance range and the mass of required reference weights.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EMB 6000-1 Educational Balance operates across a 6000 g range at 0.1 g readability, providing 60.000 divisions from a strain gauge system with 0.1 g reproducibility and ±0.3 g linearity. The compact 170×244×39 mm plastic housing and 150 mm Ø plastic platform keep the footprint consistent with the rest of the EMB range despite the extended capacity. Battery life is 25 hours from a 9 V block. A 120-minute warm-up is needed to achieve full rated accuracy, which should be planned into lesson schedules. Calibration is via a single 5 kg M1-class external weight. Stabilization takes 3 seconds. An optional mains adapter is available. Maximum creep over 15 minutes is 0.5 g.

Applications

• Food technology and catering education with large batch recipes
• Environmental science experiments with bulk soil, rock, and water samples
• Agriculture and horticulture training programmes requiring kilogram-range weighing
• Teaching the use of large reference weights and calibration of high-capacity balances
• Multi-component experiments where total assembled mass exceeds 5 kg
