A&D Weighing GF-203AWP Apollo Washdown Precision Balance, 220 g x 0.001 g

Yes. The GF-203AWP features IP65 dust and water protection, making it suitable for environments where airborne dust, moisture, or wet samples may be present. Its protected design makes it particularly useful in industrial laboratories, production areas, food-related testing, and other demanding workplaces. IP65 does not mean the balance should be submerged in water. A&D specifically promotes the AWP series for environments involving dust and samples with water droplets.

The GF-203AWP provides a 220 g maximum capacity with 0.001 g (1 mg) readability, allowing users to detect very small changes in sample mass. A&D specifies 0.001 g repeatability and ±0.002 g linearity, making this model well suited for sample preparation, formulation, quality control, research, and other applications requiring milligram-level precision.

No. The GF-203AWP uses external calibration, meaning an appropriate external calibration weight is used to perform sensitivity adjustment. This configuration can be a good fit for laboratories and quality-controlled facilities that already maintain certified or traceable reference weights. Customers who prefer a built-in calibration weight can consider the corresponding GX-203AWP, which is the internally calibrated version of the AWP platform.

The GF-203AWP is designed to combine milligram readability with fast response. A&D specifies an approximate 1-second stabilization time in FAST mode, including approximately 0.8 seconds with a 5 g load under suitable conditions. This quick response can help improve efficiency when users need to perform many repetitive measurements during laboratory, production, or quality-control work.

The GF-203AWP combines 1 mg readability, IP65 environmental protection, a SUS316 stainless-steel weighing pan, and A&D's shock-protection technologies in one compact precision balance. The weighing pan measures 128 × 128 mm, while the shock-absorbing structure beneath the pan helps reduce the impact transmitted to the weighing sensor. This combination can be particularly valuable when a conventional laboratory balance does not provide enough protection for the working environment.
