KERN EG 420-3NM Precision Balance – 420 g range, 0.001 g readability
The KERN EG 420-3NM is a precision balance with a robust tuning-fork weighing system designed for laboratory, pharmaceutical and jewellery applications where fast, repeatable mass determination is required.
- Readability 0.001 g for precise results
- Robust tuning-fork weighing system
- Internal calibration via rotary knob
- Windshield and stainless steel pan included
Accuracy that supports regulatory work
The EG 420-3NM delivers metrology-grade performance with a readability of 0.001 g, repeatability of 0.001 g and linearity of ±0.003 g, which together ensure measurements that meet stringent quality requirements. The low minimum sample weight and a clearly visible capacity bargraph help operators assess the usable range instantly, reducing the risk of measurement error. This combination of numeric stability and clear indicators makes the instrument suitable for regulated environments such as pharmacies, chemical labs and precious-metal testing, where documented, repeatable results are essential.
Stable performance in changing conditions
Built around a tuning-fork weighing system, the instrument offers short settling time and notable mechanical robustness, making it less sensitive to vibrations than many alternatives. The standard windshield reduces draft effects in open lab spaces, while the stainless steel weighing pan provides a hygienic and wear-resistant surface for frequent use. Designed to perform across a normal lab climate, operating limits of 10°C–30°C and relative humidity up to 80% support dependable results throughout typical working conditions.
Practical features for efficient workflows
The balance includes an internal calibration control via a rotary knob for quick on-site adjustment, together with functions for piece counting and summation that streamline routine tasks. Power is supplied via a universal plug set (CH; EURO; UK; US) and a battery option is available for flexible placement. Compact dimensions and a protective work cover are supplied to reduce contamination and simplify storage. For legal-for-trade applications, initial verification must be ordered at the time of purchase in accordance with EU regulations; the vendor requires the full installation address for this service.

FAQ
What is the smallest mass the balance can display?
The KERN EG 420-3NM displays down to 0.001 g and has a typical minimum sample weight of 0.02 g, suitable for fine laboratory work and precise material checks.
Can this balance be used in legal-for-trade applications?
Yes. For legal-for-trade use the KERN EG 420-3NM requires initial verification; this must be ordered at purchase and the full installation address must be provided for conformity assessment.
How does the tuning-fork system benefit daily use?
The tuning-fork weighing system in the EG 420-3NM offers fast settling, mechanical robustness and improved resistance to environmental disturbances, resulting in quicker, more repeatable measurements.
Is the balance portable and can it run on battery?
The instrument is compact and lightweight at 1.76 kg, and a battery option is available so the balance can be used away from fixed mains points after charging.
What maintenance is required for the weighing pan and windshield?
