Gas Cylinder Scale V3

SKU GQ-CWS-V3 Category

The GQ-CWS-V3 Gas Cylinder Scale V3 ensures accurate gas cylinder weight measurements either in-field or during inventory checks. Its low-profile, lightweight design, coupled with a rechargeable battery, offers enhanced portability. The optional rugged pelican case facilitates easy transportation. Features such as a 1″ high platform for rolling cylinders onto the scale, custom load cells with a rated accuracy of ±0.1 % full scale, and compliance with EPA & CARB standards make it a reliable choice for precise mass measurement in electrical transmission, distribution, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. Each scale comes with a calibration certificate traceable to the National Instrument of Standards & Technology (NIST).

Typically Ships: Within 1-2 Days

Includes: Scale, Li-ion Batteries, Charging Cable, & Instructions

Optional: Custom Pelican Case

Price range: $750.00 through $2,749.99

ROLL INSTEAD OF LIFT

Full gas cylinders can weigh 220+ pounds. Let’s roll those cylinders onto the scale instead of lifting them by using a low profile platform

LIGHTWEIGHT BUT RUGGED

This cylinder scale & case takes up less room in your truck, and you won’t have to throw out your back just to get it out. 

PRECISE MASS MEASUREMENTS

Report true gas usage with precision load cells designed with accuracy of ±0.1 % full-scale. Meets all EPA & CARB requirements for cylinder scales

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the GQ-CWS-V3 meet EPA and CARB requirements for SF6 mass-balance reporting?

Yes. The Gas Cylinder Scale V3 is compliant with EPA and CARB cylinder-scale requirements and ships with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST, so its measurements are defensible for SF6 emissions and mass-balance reporting.

What size SF6 cylinders can this scale weigh?

The scale has a 500 lb capacity, which covers standard SF6 cylinders—including full 115 lb and 220 lb cylinders—plus the weight of a dolly or handling fixture if used.

How accurate is the GQ-CWS-V3?

Accuracy is rated at ±0.1% of full scale, or approximately ±0.25 lb (±0.1 kg). This precision supports true gas-usage reporting when filling or recovering SF6.

Does it come with a calibration certificate, and how often does it need recalibration?

Each scale ships with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. The recommended calibration interval is once per year.

Do I have to lift cylinders onto the scale?

No. The platform sits just 1" high, so heavy cylinders—which can weigh 220+ lbs—can be rolled onto the scale instead of lifted, reducing strain and injury risk in the field.

What's included, and is a carrying case available?

Each unit includes the scale, Li-ion batteries, charging cable, and instructions. An optional rugged Pelican Air 1525 case is available for transport. The scale weighs 15 lbs; the case adds 7 lbs. Units typically ship within 1–2 days.
