KERN FOB 0.5K-4NS Stainless steel bench scale – 500 g range, 0.1 g readability
The KERN FOB 0.5K-4NS is a super-compact stainless steel bench scale designed for hygienic environments such as food production, catering and laboratory work
- Stainless steel housing and pan
- Readability 0.1 g for fine measurements
- IP65 protection in battery mode
- Battery operation for mobile use
Hygienic stainless steel design for regulated environments
The scale’s stainless steel housing and weighing plate deliver a corrosion-resistant surface that is easy to clean, reducing contamination risk in food preparation and laboratory areas. The sealed construction provides IP65 protection when operated on battery power, which preserves functionality during occasional wash-downs and splashes. A supplied protective cover and rubber feet support safe, hygienic operation and stable placement, helping to maintain HACCP-conformant processes with minimal maintenance.
Precise weighing for quality control and portioning
Designed for accurate small-load measurements, the unit offers a weighing range of 500 g with 0.1 g readability and a linearity of ±0.2 g, supported by a strain-gauge weighing system. The clear LCD with 20 mm digit height shows results at a glance, aiding repeatable portioning, dosing and quality checks. These technical characteristics make the bench scale suitable where traceable, consistent weighing is essential for documentation and internal quality systems.
Portable, low-profile construction for flexible workflows
With a compact footprint (170×150×40 mm) and a lightweight build of around 0.76 kg, the instrument is easy to move between stations — from kitchen bench to packaging line or laboratory worktop. The unit runs on a 9 V block battery with a typical runtime of 20 h, and includes a 230 V AC mains adapter for fixed installations. The flat, low-profile form factor and small rectangular pan (120×150 mm) save bench space while supporting efficient daily handling and quick cleaning cycles.

Take advantage of the combination of OIML M1 accuracy, a compact 500 g nominal mass and finely turned stainless steel construction for reliable scale verification and low measurement uncertainty. Order the calibration weight directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our experts for DAkkS calibration options. KERN 347-09 calibration weight (500 g, OIML M1) The KERN 347-09 calibration weight is a finely turned stainless steel single weight in button form, intended for precise verification of scales and balances in laboratories and workshops. OIML class M1 accuracy Nominal value 500 g Finely turned stainless steel Tolerance 25 mg, made in Germany Dependable accuracy for traceable results This single mass is specified as OIML M1, offering a nominal mass of 500 g with a tolerance of 25 mg, which reduces measurement uncertainty during verification procedures. The classification ensures conformity with recognised international standards, enabling consistent calibration checks and facilitating documented traceability. When incorporated into regular verification routines, the mass standard supports reproducible readings and maintains the performance of weighing equipment. Robust design for frequent handling and stable mass Manufactured from finely turned stainless steel, the button-shaped weight combines corrosion resistance with dimensional stability under routine use. Its compact dimensions of 38×66 mm and mass of 0.5 kg make it easy to handle while limiting surface contact that could affect accuracy. The robust finish minimises wear and contamination, so the mass retains its characteristics between calibrations, helping to extend service intervals and reduce downtime in production and quality assurance environments. Compliance guidance and calibration recommendation Note that EG-type approval of calibration weights will no longer be possible after 30.11.2025; for most practical purposes an accredited DAkkS calibration provides equivalent traceability and documented conformity. DAkkS calibration certificates ensure the mass standard is traceable to national measurement institutes and are recommended for critical applications where documented accuracy is required. Purchasing a certified single weight from a reputable supplier supports regulatory compliance and audit readiness.
