Struggling to find exactly which balance you want?
To make things easier, we've made a quick finder for Kern's precision balance range! Just click the link below and take a look.
Kern's PCD is a precise, compact and portable balance with a removable display for extra flexibility.
With the flexible display of this unit, it's possible to use the PCD for applications such as measuring toxic, volatile or contaminated substances where the platform is placed inside a glove bag or fume cupboard. The user can then get readings safely from a distance by holding the display unit.
This balance includes a number of different functions, including a PRE-TARE function that calculates and subtracts the known weight of a container (ideal for checking fill levels), a programmable user interface and a dedicated recipe function which allows a container plus all of its ingredients to be measured individually before a net total is created.
Depending on the model purchased, the weighing plate supplied with the product changes. The following options are possible.
This table outlines the difference between each model in this series.
