1910.110(b)(12) Filling Densities
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The "filling density" is defined as the percent ratio of the weight of the gas in a container to the weight of water the container will hold at 60 deg. F. All containers shall be filled according to the filling densities shown in Table H-27.

Portable containers not subject to DOT jurisdiction (such as, but not limited to, motor fuel containers on industrial and lift trucks, and farm tractors covered in paragraph (e) of this section, or containers recharged at the installation) may be filled either by weight, or by volume using a fixed length dip tube gaging device.
Except as provided in paragraph (b)(12)(iii) of this section, any container including mobile cargo tanks and portable tank containers regardless of size or construction, shipped under DOT jurisdiction or constructed in accordance with 49 CFR Chapter I Specifications shall be charged according to 49 CFR Chapter I requirements.
