         Unless otherwise indicated in ADR, cylinders and pressure drums conforming to the applicable requirements of Chapter 6.2 are authorized. For liquids charged with a compressed gas both components – the liquid and the compressed gas – have to be taken into consideration in the calculation of the internal pressure in the pressure receptacle. When experimental data is not available, the following steps shall be carried out: NOTE: The compressibility factor of the compressed gas at 15 °C and 65 °C shall be considered. The test pressure of the cylinders or pressure drums shall not be less than the calculated total pressure minus 100 kPa (1bar). If the solubility of the compressed gas in the liquid phase is not known for the calculation, the test pressure can be calculated without taking the gas solubility (sub-paragraph (f)) into account.

         (4) The minimum test pressure shall be in accordance with packing instruction P200 for the propellant but shall not be less than 20 bar.
