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

A 14
B 30
C 40
D 50
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 40 pounds. Liquefied flammable gas is defined as any flammable gas having a Reid vapor pressure exceeding 40 pounds per square inch. This definition is specified in the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other answer choices are incorrect because a Reid vapor pressure of 14 pounds (option A), 30 pounds (option B), or 50 pounds (option D) do not meet the regulatory definition of liquefied flammable gas, which requires the vapor pressure to exceed 40 pounds per square inch.
