Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #799 (Set 24)

CO2 cylinders must be recharged when the weight of the charge in the cylinder is less than what percent of the stamped full weight of the charge?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 90%

Per 46 CFR and marine safety standards, fixed and portable CO2 cylinders must be weighed periodically. If weight loss exceeds 10% of the stamped full charge weight (meaning weight drops below 90%), the cylinder must be recharged or replaced immediately.
