A&D Weighing GF-1202AN Apollo Precision Balance, NTEP, 1200 g x 0.01 g

Yes. The GF-1202AN is an NTEP and Measurement Canada Class II approved precision balance. It provides 0.01 g displayed readability with a 0.1 g verified scale division (e) for its legal-for-trade configuration. This makes it suitable for businesses that need precise measurements as well as an approved instrument for commercial weighing. Local weights-and-measures requirements still apply when placing the balance into legal-for-trade service.

The GF-1202AN provides 0.01 g readability and 0.01 g repeatability, allowing it to detect weight changes as small as one-hundredth of a gram. A&D’s current documentation lists a maximum capacity of 1,220 g and linearity of ±0.02 g. This combination makes the balance useful for formulation, quality control, production, inventory, laboratory testing, and other applications requiring dependable precision.

The GF-1202AN uses external calibration, meaning an appropriate reference weight is used to perform sensitivity adjustment. This can be a good fit for businesses and laboratories that already maintain certified or traceable calibration weights as part of their quality procedures. A&D specifically identifies the GF-AN series as externally calibrated, in contrast with selected GX-AN models that use internal calibration.

The GF-1202AN is designed for fast precision weighing, with approximately 1-second stabilization under suitable operating conditions. A&D also specifies approximately 0.8-second stabilization with a 50 g load. This fast response can improve productivity when operators need to perform repeated measurements throughout commercial, laboratory, production, or quality-control workflows.

Yes. The GF-1202AN includes USB and RS-232C connectivity, allowing weighing results to be transferred to compatible computers and other equipment. Its USB connection supports Quick USB and Virtual COM operation, while RS-232C provides another option for integrating the balance with data-collection workflows. These capabilities can help reduce manual transcription and simplify electronic recordkeeping.
