70% to passThe "tare weight" of a refrigerant storage cylinder refers to what weight?
Athe total weight of a fully charged cylinder
Bthe weight of an empty cylinder
Cthe weight of a cylinder AND its current contents
Dthe maximum weight of the refrigerant allowed
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) the weight of an empty cylinder. The "tare weight" of a refrigerant storage cylinder refers to the weight of the empty cylinder, without any refrigerant contents. This is an important specification, as it allows the user to determine the actual weight of the refrigerant itself by subtracting the tare weight from the total weight of the filled cylinder. The other answer choices are incorrect because A) refers to the total weight of a fully charged cylinder, C) includes the weight of the current contents, and D) is the maximum weight of refrigerant allowed, not the tare weight.
