A&D Weighing HW-10KCEP Intrinsically Safe Bench Scale, 20 lb x 0.002 lb

Yes. The HW-10KCEP is an intrinsically safe bench scale specifically designed for hazardous weighing environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present. A&D lists the HW-CEP series with FM/FMc Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D, along with IECEx and ATEX certifications. Always confirm that the scale's exact certification matches the hazardous-area classification of your installation before use.

The HW-10KCEP has a maximum capacity of 20 lb (10 kg) with readability of 0.002 lb (0.001 kg). A&D also specifies repeatability of 0.002 kg and linearity of ±0.002 kg. This combination makes it suitable for precise industrial weighing, filling, batching, and checkweighing tasks where a relatively compact intrinsically safe scale is required.

The HW-10KCEP features a highly visible 3-color, 5-step LED comparator display that helps operators quickly determine whether a load is below, within, or above preset weight targets. The scale also stabilizes within approximately 1.5 seconds, making it useful for repetitive filling, packing, sorting, and inspection processes in hazardous work areas.

The weighing platform of the HW-CEP series has IP65 dust and water protection, which helps protect it in demanding industrial environments where dust or moisture may be present. A&D also uses a SUS430 stainless-steel weighing pan for durability and easier cleaning. IP65 does not mean the scale can be submerged in water, and users must still follow all applicable hazardous-location requirements.

The HW-10KCEP operates using four D-size 1.5 V alkaline batteries, so it does not require a conventional AC connection during normal operation. A&D specifies battery operation of up to approximately 1,500 hours with the backlight and LED comparator turned off, depending on operating conditions. Battery power also makes the scale easier to position where weighing is needed within an appropriately classified hazardous area.
