A&D Weighing GF-403AWP Apollo Washdown Precision Balance, 420 g x 0.001 g

Yes. The GF-403AWP features an IP65-rated design, meaning it is completely protected against dust ingress and protected against low-pressure water jets. This makes it a strong choice for laboratories, production facilities, and other environments where dust, moisture, spills, or routine cleaning may be concerns. The IP65 rating does not mean the balance should be submerged in water.

The GF-403AWP provides a 420 g maximum capacity with 0.001 g (1 mg) readability, allowing it to detect very small changes in sample weight. A&D specifies 0.001 g repeatability and ±0.002 g linearity, making it suitable for formulation, sample preparation, quality control, research, and production applications that require milligram-level measurements.

The GF-403AWP uses external calibration, meaning an appropriate external calibration weight is used to perform sensitivity adjustment. This configuration can be especially suitable for laboratories and quality-controlled facilities that already maintain certified or traceable calibration weights. Customers who prefer built-in calibration should consider the corresponding GX-403AWP, which is the internally calibrated version in A&D's Apollo lineup.

The GF-403AWP is designed for fast precision measurements, with an approximate 1-second stabilization time in FAST mode. A&D also specifies approximately 0.8-second stabilization with a 5 g load under the stated conditions. This quick response can help increase efficiency when users perform repeated measurements in laboratory, production, or quality-control workflows.

Yes. The GF-403AWP provides USB and RS-232C connectivity, allowing weighing results to be transferred to compatible computers and other equipment. This can help reduce manual transcription and simplify electronic data collection for laboratory and quality-control workflows. The balance also supports applications including counting, percentage weighing, dynamic/animal weighing, density determination, statistical calculations, comparator weighing, and underhook weighing.
