KERN 440-49A compact precision laboratory balance — 6,000 g / 0.1 g
The KERN 440-49A is a compact precision laboratory balance designed for routine weighing, percentage determinations and piece counting in space‑constrained workbenches.
- Compact footprint 168×230×80 mm
- Readability 0.1 g, reproducibility 0.1 g
- 6,000 g capacity with 150×170 mm pan
- Mains and battery operation, up to 20 h
Reliable precision for routine workflows
The instrument offers precision and repeatability for daily laboratory tasks thanks to a strain‑gauge DMS load cell and a reproducibility 0.1 g specification. The combination of 0.1 g readability and a maximum capacity of 6,000 g allows both small sample analysis and heavier batches to be processed without frequent scale changes, improving throughput and reducing handling time. Linearity of ± 0.3 g ensures consistent readings across the weighing range, which supports process control and documentation in regulated environments.
Compact design that saves bench space
With a compact footprint of 168×230×80 mm and a rectangular stainless steel weighing pan sized 150×170 mm, the balance is suited to laboratories with limited bench space. The clear LCD with 15 mm digit height presents results at a glance, while the included draft shield (work protection hood) reduces assay variability when handling small or lightweight samples. The modest instrument weight (1.18 kg) and robust housing make integration into mobile test stations straightforward.
Practical functions that support daily tasks
Equipped with a percent function for tare‑based target weighing and a piece‑counting mode with defined minimum piece weights for laboratory and normal counting, the unit simplifies repetitive tasks and minimises calculation errors. The balance accepts mains power (100–240 V AC) and offers battery operation (9 V block) with a battery runtime of up to 20 hours; an optional rechargeable battery and a charging time of 10 hours are available for extended field use. The package includes universal adapters (CH, EU, UK, US) for immediate deployment across locations.
Compliance, calibration and handling explained
The model follows standard expectations for everyday laboratory balances and provides a clear reference for minimum sample handling: the US minimum sample weight (USP) is a benchmark for the smallest permissible sample mass in standardised methods and should be observed when preparing regulated assays. For traceable performance, Metav Werkzeuge offers calibration services and can advise on compliance requirements and suitable procedures. The stainless steel pan and straightforward operating modes reduce maintenance time and support reliable long‑term operation.

FAQ
What is the smallest increment this balance displays?
The KERN 440-49A precision laboratory balance displays readings in 0.1 g increments, suitable for routine analytical tasks that require this resolution.
Can the instrument perform percentage‑based weighing?
Yes — the built‑in percent function enables tare‑based target weighing and quick assessment of deviation from a predefined 100% reference, ideal for formulation and QC checks.
Is a draft shield included for small samples?
A work protection hood (draft shield) is included with the unit to reduce air‑current effects and improve stability when weighing small or lightweight samples.
What power options are available for field and bench use?
The balance is supplied with a universal mains adapter (100–240 V AC) with CH, EU, UK and US plugs and supports 9 V block battery operation with up to 20 hours runtime; an optional rechargeable battery and 10‑hour charging time are listed.
Is the balance suitable for piece counting and what are the minimum piece weights?
Counting is supported with two reference modes: laboratory counting with a minimum piece weight of 200 mg and normal counting with a minimum of 2 g, providing flexibility depending on the application.
