NIGP 78042: Gas Cylinder Weighing Scales

NIGP 78042 Gas Cylinder Weighing Scales, an Item code, covers precision scales and weighing equipment designed to measure the contents and weight of pressurized gas cylinders used across industrial, medical, and laboratory operations. State and local governments procure these scales primarily for facilities management, emergency response, municipal utilities, and public health departments that operate or monitor compressed gas inventories. The equipment typically includes dial or digital readout scales calibrated for specific gas types and cylinder sizes, with accuracy requirements ranging from laboratory-grade to industrial operational standards. Buyers span municipal departments, county utilities, state environmental agencies, public health facilities, and regional water treatment authorities — jurisdictions managing infrastructure or emergency services that depend on reliable gas cylinder inventory control.
