Refrigeration & Air Conditioning USCG Question #156 (Set 3)

The amount of HCFC-123 in a storage cylinder is measured by what means?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — weight

Refrigerants stored in cylinders must always be measured strictly by weight (mass) using a calibrated scale. Volumetric measurement fails because liquid volume fluctuates significantly with temperature changes, risking dangerous overpressurization and overfilling.
