Leakproofness test means a test using gas subjecting the pressure receptacles and the service equipment of the MEGC to an effective internal pressure of not less than 20% of the test pressure.
Manifold means an assembly of piping and valves connecting the filling and/or discharge openings of the pressure receptacles.
Maximum permissible gross mass or MPGM means the heaviest load authorized for transport (sum of the tare mass of the MEGC, service equipment and pressure receptacle).
Service equipment means manifold system (measuring instruments, piping and safety devices).
Shut-off valve means a valve that stops the flow of gas.
