Athe weight of an empty cylinder
Bthe total weight of a fully charged cylinder
Cthe weight of a cylinder AND its current contents
Dthe maximum weight of the refrigerant allowed
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 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. This is an important specification, as it allows the operator to determine the net weight of the refrigerant contents by subtracting the tare weight from the total weight of the cylinder. The other options are incorrect because B) is the total weight of a fully charged cylinder, C) includes both the cylinder weight and current contents, and D) is the maximum weight of refrigerant allowed, which is a separate specification.
