KERN EMS 12K1 — School laboratory balance with 12,000 g capacity and 1 g readability
The KERN EMS 12K1 is a low-cost laboratory balance designed for educational use and routine analyses, offering a large, durable weighing surface and an ergonomically arranged control panel for straightforward operation
- Large shockproof plastic weighing pan
- 12,000 g capacity with 1 g readability
- Ergonomic keypad and high-contrast LCD
- Compact, flat design with rubber feet
Robust accuracy tailored to classrooms and basic labs
Built for everyday educational use, this balance combines reliable weighing accuracy with a large weighing plate that resists impact during handling. The strain-gauge weighing system delivers stable readings and 1 g readability, while linearity of ±3 g ensures consistency across the weighing range. The rugged plastic housing and pan reduce the risk of damage from accidental knocks, preserving performance in busy teaching environments and small workshops.
Clear operation and improved user ergonomics
The flat, low-profile design and ergonomic keypad make routine tasks simple: large keys and a high-contrast LCD display with 25 mm digit height improve legibility for pupils and instructors. The balance offers intuitive controls and a dedicated CAL calibration programme for on-site adjustment when paired with external test weights (available at extra cost). These features minimise handling errors and speed up lesson workflows, supporting effective teaching and quick student turnover.
Flexible power and dependable performance
Power options include a 9 V block battery or the supplied mains adaptor (220–240 V AC, 50 Hz) with CH, EU, UK and US plugs, enabling use across different locations without additional accessories. The battery provides extended operation of up to 40 hours, making the unit suitable for mobile demonstrations or classrooms where mains access is limited. Operating conditions are standard for educational equipment, with a recommended range of 5 °C to 35 °C and a maximum relative humidity of 80% to preserve measurement stability.
Applications, calibration and practical advantages
Designed primarily as a school balance, this model is also suitable for routine laboratory analyses, quality checks and small-animal weighing in veterinary settings. The large rectangular weighing surface (175 × 190 mm) eases handling of beakers and containers commonly used in biology and chemistry lessons. For traceable results, the CAL programme allows calibration with external weights; the balance’s light weight and compact footprint make it easy to relocate between classrooms or workstations while maintaining repeatable results.

Zubehör
Robust stainless-steel construction and precise compatibility ensure dependable protection for precision balances; the plate’s lightweight design and exact fit for 175×190 mm pans permit quick retrofitting with minimal disruption. Order the stainless-steel weighing plate EMS-A01 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. Stainless-steel Weighing Plate EMS-A01 — KERN accessory for 175×190 mm pans The Stainless-steel Weighing Plate EMS-A01 is a replacement weighing pan designed for KERN precision scales, intended to provide a corrosion-resistant surface and consistent load distribution on models with a 175×190 mm weighing plate size. Stainless-steel construction Exact fit for KERN precision scales Designed for 175×190 mm weighing pans Lightweight 0.35 kg for easy handling Protects the balance and supports accurate results The stainless-steel surface offers a durable and corrosion-resistant contact area that reduces wear on the original weighing pan and helps maintain accurate weighing over time. A flat and stable pan surface prevents uneven load distribution, which can introduce measurement error; by replacing or fitting a correctly sized pan, the measuring system retains its calibrated behaviour. The robust material also tolerates routine cleaning, limiting contamination and ensuring consistent performance in workshop or laboratory environments. Simple retrofit reduces downtime and installation effort Designed as a direct accessory for KERN precision scales, the plate is produced to the matching dimensions for pans of 175×190 mm, enabling a straight swap or upgrade without mechanical modification. At 0.35 kg, the component is light enough for one-person handling yet rigid enough to sit securely on the weighing module. This compatibility avoids recalibration cycles beyond routine checks, so operational interruptions are kept to a minimum while maintaining traceable measurement conditions. Enhances workshop efficiency and purchasing confidence Using a dedicated stainless-steel pan supports hygienic routines and reduces maintenance time, which translates into lower process interruptions and a clearer workflow. Sourcing accessories via an experienced distributor adds assurance: Metav Werkzeuge provides a broad selection of metrology products from a single point, backed by long-standing market experience and centralised supply logistics. Choosing a purpose-made accessory contributes to predictable service intervals and sustained measurement reliability. For reliable retrofitting of KERN precision scales, request the EMS-A01 stainless-steel weighing plate from Metav Werkzeuge — our consultants can confirm model compatibility and delivery options to your workshop.
