A&D EK-200i for jewelry, lab samples, parts and formulation balances small-sample precision with enough capacity for containers and assemblies that may overload a 120 g model. The 200 g × 0.01 g balance is non-NTEP, so it is intended for internal work rather than direct legal sales by weight. Its counting, percent, comparator and RS-232C functions cover a broad set of laboratory and production search intents.
Jewelry and component production
Hundredth-gram readability supports internal weighing of findings, small pieces, solder and scrap. Use a certified trade balance if customer payment is calculated from the reading. For internal manufacturing and material reconciliation, EK-200i provides more capacity than EK-120i without changing the 0.01 g display increment.
Laboratory samples and formulations
Tare a sample dish or light beaker and weigh up to the gross 200 g capacity. Percent mode can compare a sample to a 1 g-or-greater reference. If the method requires 0.001 g, move to an FX/FZ model. If the vessel and material routinely exceed 200 g, choose EK-300i, EK-410i or EK-610i while preserving 0.01 g readability where appropriate.
Parts counting and QC
ACAI can count uniform parts with average unit weights down to 0.01 g. Use larger samples for light components and validate a hand count. Comparator limits provide internal pass/fail status, while RS-232C can record the final weight or count. Keep the unit and station ID with electronic records so results remain traceable.
Frequently asked questions
Is EK-200i good for internal jewelry work? Yes. Is it legal for trade? No. Does it handle lab samples? Yes within 200 g gross capacity. Can it count tiny parts? Yes with 0.01 g minimum unit weight. Does it have percent mode and RS-232C? Yes. When should I choose EK-120i? When 120 g is enough. When should I choose EK-410i or EK-610i? When more capacity is needed at the same nominal 0.01 g readability.
