RRC Texas LP-Gas Practice Exam

The minimum water capacity for stationary service containers is established to ensure that the container can safely handle the pressures and volumes associated with liquid propane gas usage. In the context of stationary LP-gas containers, the regulation specifies a minimum capacity of 125 gallons. This ensures that the container can meet the needs of a range of applications while maintaining safety standards.

Choosing 125 gallons as the minimum means that any stationary container below this capacity could be seen as inadequate for the pressure and volume requirements necessary for effective and safe propane service. Larger containers facilitate more stable operation and reduce the risks of over-pressure in the system. Thus, 125 gallons serves as the baseline capacity to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards in the LP-gas industry.
