UNSPSC 41112419: Cigarette filter draw resistance meter

A meter that measures the air suction resistance of the finished and semi-finished filter products and measures the air suction resistance of cigarette. It measures the pressure difference when the air flow speed is set for 17.5mL/s.

UNSPSC 41112419 Cigarette filter draw resistance meter is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers laboratory instrumentation for tobacco product testing; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect water utility operations, wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy facilities, and SCADA system upgrades — none of which involve cigarette filter testing or tobacco-related measurement equipment. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has fallen into disuse for its intended purpose in government purchasing.

The recent opportunities in the dataset span Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico and are issued by municipal water departments, county utilities, and special-purpose authorities (City of Tampa Water and Wastewater Departments, Collier County Water and Wastewater, City of Phoenix Water Services, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, and City of Gallup). None of these procurements target cigarette filter measurement; instead they solicit pressure gauges, temperature transmitters, process instrumentation, level controllers, atmospheric monitoring sensors, and SCADA infrastructure. Given the absence of actual cigarette filter draw resistance meter opportunities in state and local procurement, this code presents no current buying activity of relevance to the commodity named.
