Liquefied flammable gas is defined as any flammable gas having a Reid vapor pressure exceeding how many pounds?

Question 1 of 27070

Liquefied flammable gas is defined as any flammable gas having a Reid vapor pressure exceeding how many pounds?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Reid vapor pressure (RVP) and what it measures in relation to volatility • How the CFR defines liquefied flammable gas for carriage/handling purposes • Typical pressure thresholds (in psi) used to distinguish liquefied gases from other flammable liquids/gases

💭 Think About

• Think about why a gas would be called liquefied and what level of vapor pressure indicates it will stay liquid under moderate pressure at standard temperature. • Compare the answer choices: which pressures are more typical of ordinary flammable liquids, and which are clearly in the range where you need strong containment? • Consider that this definition comes from regulation: which of these numbers sounds like a specific regulatory cutoff rather than a rounded, generic value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the definition of liquefied flammable gas in 46 CFR (Shipping) under hazardous materials or tank vessel regulations. • Confirm the pressure unit: it is pounds per square inch (psi) of Reid vapor pressure at a specified temperature (usually 100°F). • Verify exactly which single numeric threshold is stated in the CFR definition; do not rely on memory or what "sounds right."
