A&D HT-120 Compact Precision Balance

A&D HT-120 Compact Precision Balance

The A&D HT-120 compact precision balance is a specialized precision scale ideal for weighing gun powder with exceptional accuracy, offering 120 gram capacity with 0.01 gram resolution (1850 grain × 0.2 grain) to ensure precise powder charges for reloading applications. Designed specifically for the exacting requirements of ammunition reloading, the HT-120 features a chemically resistant stainless steel (SUS304) weighing pan and protector plate that withstands exposure to powder residues and solvents while maintaining dimensional stability and hygiene. The balance delivers excellent repeatability of 0.01g (σ), ensuring consistent measurements critical for safe and accurate powder dispensing, while the large 15mm character height LCD display with clear white backlight provides exceptional readability even in low-light reloading bench conditions. Multiple weighing units including grams, grains, ounces, troy ounces, carats, momme, pennyweight, tola, tael, and Newton accommodate diverse reloading preferences and international measurement standards, with simple one-touch unit conversion for convenience.

Engineered for portability and durability in workshop environments, the HT-120 comes packaged in a stackable clear carrying case for easy storage and protection when not in use, with compact main body dimensions of 136W × 150D × 57.5H mm that fit comfortably on crowded reloading benches. Operating on 4 × AA batteries (included) with optional AC adapter available for continuous bench operation, the balance features auto-power off function to conserve battery life, battery level indicator for power management, and convenient tare function that offsets container weight with one key press for efficient powder dispensing workflow. The integrated security slot in the rear of the scale accommodates anti-theft locks for securing valuable equipment in shared workshops or storage areas. With 1-year warranty backing and ISO 9000 certified manufacturing quality, the HT-120 represents the ideal precision weighing solution for ammunition reloaders requiring accurate, reliable, and portable powder measurement for developing consistent loads, ensuring safety, and achieving optimal shooting performance.
