What types of weighing and inspection products does A&D Weighing offer?

Updated

A&D Weighing (weighing.andonline.com) organizes its catalog into three main groups: laboratory balances and scales, industrial weighing equipment, and product inspection systems. It also lists accessories and connectivity products that support those instruments. If you know which of these three areas matches your task, you can go straight to that product family; if not, the categories below should help you place your application.

Laboratory balances and scales

These are the instruments used in research, quality control, and analytical work where readability and stability matter more than throughput.

  • Micro Balances — for the smallest sample masses
  • Semi-Micro Balances — a step up in capacity from micro balances
  • Analytical Balances — general analytical laboratory weighing
  • Precision Balances — routine lab weighing with higher capacities
  • High Capacity Precision Balances — precision readability at larger loads
  • Portable Balances & Scales — for bench work away from a fixed station
  • Mass Comparators — for comparing calibration weights
  • Moisture Balances — determine moisture content by drying and weighing
  • Pipettes and Viscometers — liquid handling and viscosity measurement, listed alongside the balances

The featured products on the site include the BH-T Series Semi Micro Balances and BH-T Series Analytical Balances, which sit in this laboratory group.

Industrial weighing

This group covers weighing on the production floor and in trade or counting applications.

  • Bench Scales — platform weighing at a bench or station
  • Indicators — readouts and controllers for weighing systems
  • Counting Scales — determine piece counts from sample weight
  • Compact Scales — small-footprint general weighing
  • Weigh Cells & Load Cells — the sensing elements for integration into machines and systems

The site also lists applications such as Legal for Trade, Hazardous Area, Wet and Dusty Weighing, and Food Portioning, which indicate where these industrial products are typically used.

Product inspection

A&D Inspection is presented as a separate line for quality and safety checks on production lines.

  • Checkweighers — verify that packages meet a target weight
  • Metal Detectors — find metal contamination in product flow
  • X-ray Inspection — detect foreign objects and inspect contents

Accessories, connectivity, and software

Supporting products are grouped under Accessories and Connectivity:

  • Calibration Weights
  • Peripherals
  • Printers
  • Software — including iTest Formula Control, available as a full product or as software only

How to choose

If your task is… Start with…
Analytical or research weighing Laboratory balances (micro, semi-micro, analytical, precision)
Moisture determination Moisture Balances
Production floor weighing or counting Industrial scales, indicators, counting scales, load cells
Package weight verification Checkweighers
Contamination detection Metal Detectors or X-ray Inspection
Connecting instruments to records or printers Connectivity, Printers, Software, Calibration Weights

The site also groups content by industry — Academia, Botanicals, Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals, Food and Beverage (including bakery, confectionery and snacks, fresh produce, meat, fish and poultry), Pet Food, and Emerging Industries — and by application, including Botanical Balances, Jewelry, Legal for Trade, Hazardous Area, and Ammunition Reloading. Those pages are the fastest route if your requirement is defined by sector or regulatory context rather than by instrument type.
