A gas with water capacity 1200 pounds is which category?

• A. Bulk gas
• B. Non-bulk gas
• C. Bulk solid
• D. Non-bulk solid

Answer: (A)

Understanding how gases are classified by container capacity is key. For gases, the dividing line between bulk and non-bulk is the water capacity of the packaging: more than 119 gallons (about 450 liters) means bulk, while 119 gallons or less means non-bulk. A water capacity of 1200 pounds translates to roughly 144 gallons (since 1 gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds). That exceeds the 119-gallon threshold, so this gas is categorized as bulk gas. The other options refer to solids or to non-bulk gas, which don’t fit because the capacity already places it above the bulk threshold.
