A&D FG-30KAMN: 60 lb NTEP Column Bench from Cypress

Aug 29

4 min read

A Houston receiving counter that wants a pole it can read standing up does not need a second HW-200KC. It needs a column NTEP bench. The carton All Scales USA actually stocks in Cypress is the A&D FG-30KAMN — 60 lb × 0.02 lb / 30 kg × 0.01 kg, $532, fifty in stock. Live slug: a-d-fg-30kamn-bench-scale-with-column-ntep-cofc-05-101. The washdown-process HW-C we already posted is a different family: A&D HW-200KC from Cypress.

What the live page actually prints

Brand A&D. Model FG-30KAMN. Product type NTEP bench with column. Capacity × readability 60 lb × 0.02 lb / 30 kg × 0.01 kg. NTEP Class III, Certificate of Conformance 05-101. Pan about 11.8 × 15 in. Column included on this AMN body. Comparator HI/OK/LO. AC adapter included. Maker product: A&D FG-30KAMN. Series: FG-K bench scales. Literature PDF: FG-K lit. We will not use an andweighing.com product path — that host redirects to the A&D home page.

A $700 clone slug of the same FG-30KAMN exists. This post points at the $532 listing with fifty in stock. We will not write a second FG-30 article for the clone. Leaf: bench scales and A&D.

Column vs no-column, NTEP vs the HW-C already posted

Column (AMN) is this FG-30KAMN. No-column (BMN) live in Cypress includes the FG-60KBMN — 150 lb class, $596, eighteen in stock, same CC 05-101, slug a-d-fg-60kbmn-bench-scale-no-column-ntep-cofc-05-101. If the operator is sitting at the platter, BMN. If they tare standing, AMN. The HW-200KC post is 220 kg washdown-process, IP65, NTEP No. Do not order FG-K because you wanted a hose-down HW-C.

Pete at pete@allscales.com, (832) 766-5410, asks four things before the FG-30KAMN leaves 21249 FM 529 Rd.

Heaviest piece this week under 60 lb? A 90 lb tote is FG-60, not this 30 kg body.
Column so you can read standing, or a no-column platter you sit over?
Texas sale by weight? Live page prints NTEP III CC 05-101. Place in service.
Hose-down? This FG-K is not the HW-200KC washdown-process post.

What is in the Cypress carton

No washdown IP rating assumed on this dry FG-K body.

Texas talk: NTEP in Texas and NTEP legal-for-trade. Compact chooser if the job is actually a 4000 g lab bench: compact digital bench scale. We do not do truck scales, pit scales, axle scales, or weighbridges. How we take the call: Houston calibration from Cypress. Service: scale calibration Houston. No ISO 17025. No A2LA.

How Cypress picks a 60 lb column

The FG-30KAMN is the bench we put on a Houston packing line when the operator is standing and the boxes are 20–50 lb. Comparator HI/OK/LO is why a packer sees over/under without staring. CC 05-101 is why Texas trade can place it in service. Column is why they do not bend to an 11 in LCD. Those three sentences are the Cypress upsell from a no-column compact.

Pete will put a known mass on the 11.8 × 15 in pan at 21249 FM 529 Rd if you ask. That is a Cypress bench conversation, not a certificate. We will not print Texan-certified on this NTEP bench. If a test mass comes up, we say Texan-tested. Place-in-service in Texas is still required with CC 05-101 on the nameplate.

Typical Cypress jobs: a fulfillment counter that outgrew a 12 lb compact, a receiving dock that needs a pole they can read, a shop that priced the HW-200KC and then said the hose never hits the bench. We have also seen a buyer pick FG-30 because the gallery photo had a column, then ask for 150 lb. That is FG-60 / FG-150, a different SKU.

House kits we build in the same shop are always MNM Scales — full name. Sister catalog: ek1200i.com. Manufacturer stays on weighing.andonline.com. We will not name competitor dealers. Email pete@allscales.com a photo of the counter height if you are unsure the column clears a shelf.

Fifty in stock is why this $532 GSC listing is the one we send tonight. The $700 clone is the same model — call and we will put you on this live listing. We will not write a second FG-30KAMN article.

A 11.8 × 15 in pan is why a shipping box sits without hanging off the edge. HI/OK/LO is why a packer does not need a second checkweigher head on this dry counter. Fifty in Cypress is why we would rather send this GSC listing than the $700 clone. Those three sentences are the stock talk from 21249 FM 529 Rd.

If the hose hits the bench, stop and read the HW-200KC post. If the job is 150 lb, stop and call for FG-60 / FG-150. If the job is jewelry 0.1 g, that is the EK-1200i post, not this 60 lb column. Parts and extra cells we build in the same shop stay MNM Scales.

On a Houston service call we will confirm the column is tight, the comparator limits, and CC 05-101 on the nameplate. We will tell you again it still needs a Texas place-in-service. That sentence is the whole legal talk on this FG-K.
