Order the scale directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the team for application advice. KERN CM.50-C2N Pocket scale with karat display, 10 g capacity A compact KERN CM.50-C2N pocket scale for accurate jewellery and gemstone weighing, designed for fast, repeatable readings and mobile use Readability 0.002 g for fine measurements Karat display for jewellery and gemstones Compact plastic weighing plate, small footprint Battery runtime up to 33 hours Precise results for delicate weighing tasks The compact device delivers high resolution and dependable measurement performance for small loads. Equipped with a readability of 0.002 g and a capacity of 10 g, the instrument is tailored to applications where fine increments matter, such as gemstone appraisal and precious-metal checks. The internal strain-gauge system minimises drift and converts force into a stable signal; linearity ±0.006 g and reproducibility 0.004 g indicate consistent behaviour over repeated measurements. These specifications translate directly into reduced rework and faster decision-making in the workshop or retail environment. Practical design that suits mobile and bench use A low-weight housing and a plastic weighing plate give a very small footprint, making the instrument easy to carry or store. The platform dimensions and overall instrument size support immediate placement on a bench or transport in a protective case without sacrificing accuracy. The LCD with a 9 mm digit height ensures clear readings at a glance, while the compact construction reduces susceptibility to external disturbances. The small form factor therefore increases operational flexibility without compromising metrological performance. Long operating time and robust environmental tolerance Powered by 2 × 1.5 V AAA batteries, the unit provides up to 33 hours of continuous operation, allowing extended use away from mains power and fewer battery changes. The specified operating temperature range of 5 °C to 35 °C and a maximum ambient humidity of 80% define the environmental window where measurement uncertainty remains controlled. For routine tasks, the combination of energy efficiency and environmental robustness offers uninterrupted workflow and predictable output, which supports throughput and scheduling in professional settings. Clear measurement technology explained for non-specialists The strain-gauge sensor used here is a proven method for converting mechanical load into an electrical signal; it is commonly found in laboratory and industrial scales because of its balance between sensitivity and durability. Readability denotes the smallest increment shown on the display, while reproducibility refers to the ability to obtain the same result across repeated weighings. Understanding these terms helps in selecting the right instrument: high readability and good reproducibility mean fewer doubts during valuation and quality control tasks.

Portable accuracy for everyday weighing
basic scales — also known as compact scales or entry-level scales — deliver straightforward, reliable weight readings for routine workshop, classroom and mobile tasks. Designed for users who need quick, repeatable results rather than high-resolution laboratory performance, these instruments combine intuitive operation with low weight and easy transport.
How these scales work and where they belong
Basic scales operate with a simplified user interface and direct weighing circuitry, providing immediate read-outs on an lcd display. Their reduced keypad design minimises operator error and shortens training time. Many models run from batteries or rechargeable accu packs for net-independent use, while pocket variants include a protective folding lid for precision on the move. In production support, training workshops and field service, basic scales are invaluable where speed and robustness matter more than micrometre resolution.

FAQ
What functions do basic scales typically offer?
basic scales commonly include a tare function, unit switching, an easy-to-read lcd display and a simplified keypad. Portable models often support battery or accu operation.
Are basic scales suitable for laboratory-grade measurements?
basic scales are intended for routine and workshop weighing; they are not designed for ultra-fine laboratory resolutions or applications requiring high-precision analytical balances.
Can basic scales be used in mobile or field environments?
yes. many basic scales feature battery operation, compact housings and protective lids on pocket models to support mobile use.
How do I choose between compact scales and pocket scales for my workshop?
consider the typical load size, required portability and the environment: choose pocket scales for small, high-precision mobile tasks; select compact scales for benchtop workshop use where slightly larger capacity and stability are needed.
