Questions and Answers

What is service pressure?

The average pressure at which the cylinder is routinely checked

The minimum pressure at 20°C to which the cylinder is filled

The recommended pressure at which the cylinder is stored

The maximum pressure at 70°F to which the cylinder is ordinarily filled (correct)

At what temperature is service pressure typically defined?

100°F (38 °C)

70°F (20 °C) (correct)
