KERN & SOHN EMS 6K1 EMS Educational Balance, 6000 g Capacity, 1 g Readability
KERN & SOHN EMS 6K1 Educational Balance — 6000 g Capacity, 1 g Readability — Versatile Multi-Function School Balance
Combining a wide 6000 g range with accessible 1 g readability and multiple application modes, the KERN & SOHN EMS 6K1 Educational Balance is built for vocational and applied science programmes where simplicity of use matters as much as capacity. Piece counting, percentage determination, and net-total summing are all built in.
Key Features
- 6000 g / 1 g easy operation: A 6,000-division resolution across 6 kg gives 1 g readability in a format that is accessible for students at all levels, including those new to electronic balance use.
- 30-minute warm-up for faster deployment: A 30-minute warm-up — twice as fast as the 0.1 g EMS 6K0.1 model — allows the balance to be brought into service within a single lesson period.
- Built-in counting and percentage modes: Piece counting and percentage determination modes broaden the teaching value of the instrument beyond basic mass measurement into practical data analysis.
- Recipe / summing function: Net-total recipe accumulation (Rez A) guides students through multi-ingredient formulation in food technology, catering, and chemical blending exercises.
- 40-hour optional battery: With an optional 9 V block battery, 40 hours of cordless operation is available — useful for demonstration labs and field visits.
- 5-key simplified interface: Five clearly defined keys manage all operating functions, reducing errors and time spent on instruction when introducing a class to the instrument.
- M1-class external calibration: A 6 kg M1 external weight calibrates the instrument — appropriate for the 1 g resolution tier — and gives students exposure to large reference masses.
Detailed Overview
The KERN & SOHN EMS 6K1 Educational Balance delivers 6000 g at 1 g readability using a 6,000-division strain gauge system with 1 g reproducibility and ±3 g linearity. The 200×280×65 mm plastic housing and included mains power supply are consistent with the EMS series, and the optional 9 V block battery extends operation to 40 hours. Warm-up time is 30 minutes and stabilization is 3 seconds. Maximum creep is 4 g in 15 minutes. Units include grams, pennyweights, troy ounces, and ounces. The 5-key panel provides direct access to counting, percentage, summing, tare, and unit switching. External calibration uses a 6 kg M1-class weight.
Applications
- Vocational food technology, catering, and hospitality training
- Environmental and agricultural science education with bulk materials
- Teaching piece counting and multi-ingredient recipe formulation
- Applied science programmes where 1 g resolution at 6 kg is the practical requirement
- Student demonstrations of summing, percentage, and counting at a large scale
