When the amount of agent in the container is determined by special measuring devices in lieu of weighing, these devices shall be listed. Factory-charged, non-refillable containers that do not have a means of pressure indication shall be weighed at least semi-annually. If a container shows a loss in net weight of more than 5 percent, it shall be replaced. The date, weight, and pressure of the container shall be recorded on a tag and attached to the container. |
