What was the minimum design pressure requirement for LP-gas containers constructed before April 1, 2001?

The minimum design pressure requirement for LP-gas containers constructed before April 1, 2001, is indeed 250 psig. This requirement was established to ensure that containers could safely handle the pressures generated by liquefied petroleum gases under typical storage and dispensing conditions.

Setting this standard was critical for maintaining safety in the handling and operation of LP-gas systems, as the containers were expected to withstand potential pressure fluctuations without risk of failure. Containers built to this specification retained integrity while operating within the safe parameters of LP-gas storage. Understanding these standards is important for those involved in the dispensing and management of LP-gas to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to minimize the risk of accidents associated with pressure-related incidents.
