Large Glass Draft Shield 572-A05 — KERN accessory with three sliding doors for easy sample access

Large Glass Draft Shield 572-A05 is a glass enclosure designed to shield weighing pan assemblies from air currents while allowing convenient handling through its sliding doors.

• Three sliding doors for easy access
• Compatible with KERN 572, PKP and PKT Ø106 mm
• Reduces influence of drafts for stable weighing
• Lightweight at 0.5 kg for easy handling

Consistent results through effective draught protection

A well‑designed draft shield is essential for achieving reproducible readings on high‑precision balances. The enclosure reduces air disturbances that can cause fluctuation during measurement, supporting stable weighing and more reliable data logging. Its dimensions (150 x 140 x 130 mm) ensure adequate enclosure volume for common samples while keeping the disturbance zone small, which is particularly beneficial when working with analytical or precision balances. Compatibility with the specified KERN models means the shield integrates into existing measuring routines without altering calibration procedures, helping to maintain traceability and measurement confidence.

Faster handling with three sliding doors

Access to the weighing pan is simplified by the three sliding doors, which permit quick placement and removal of samples from multiple sides without lifting the entire enclosure. This design reduces handling time and the risk of introducing additional air movement during sample transfer, improving throughput in busy laboratory or workshop environments. The compact footprint and lightweight construction (0.5 kg) allow easy positioning and temporary removal when necessary, supporting flexible workflows where the enclosure is shared between stations or needs frequent repositioning.

Practical compatibility and straightforward maintenance

The shield is tailored for balance platforms with a pan diameter of Ø106 mm, fitting KERN 572 series and compatible PKP and PKT models that use that pan size. Installation is deliberately uncomplicated: the enclosure mounts around the weighing area to preserve the original balance geometry and does not require modification of the instrument. Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the glass surfaces, which maintain visual contact with the pan and sample throughout the weighing process; regular, gentle cleaning preserves visibility and prevents contamination. Overall, the enclosure offers a pragmatic balance of accessibility, protection and integration for professional measurement tasks.

FAQ

Is this enclosure compatible with KERN analytical balances?

The Large Glass Draft Shield 572-A05 is compatible with KERN 572 series and with KERN PKP and PKT models that use a weighing pan of Ø106 mm.

Can the glass shield be used with larger pans?

The enclosure is designed for pans with Ø106 mm and may not fit larger pan sizes; for other pan diameters an alternative enclosure is required.

How does the draft shield affect measurement stability?

By limiting air currents around the weighing pan, the draft shield reduces fluctuations and supports stable weighing, improving repeatability for small or lightweight samples.

Is the enclosure easy to clean and maintain?

Yes. The glass surfaces allow clear visibility and can be cleaned with suitable non‑abrasive agents to avoid scratches and contamination.

Does the product include mounting hardware?

The Large Glass Draft Shield 572-A05 is supplied as the enclosure unit; check the balance model compatibility (Ø106 mm) before integration with the instrument
