			 refrigerated vessel with a design pressure of less than 15 psig.
(i) "Data plate" means a piece of
			 noncorroding metal permanently attached by the manufacturer to the surface of a

			 in a line that is designed to close when the flow of vapor or liquid flowing
			 through the line exceeds the amount for which the valve is rated.
(n) "Filling density" means the percent ratio
			 of the weight of gas in a container to the weight of water that the container
			 will hold at 60F.
(o) "Implement of
			 husbandry" means a farm wagon-type vehicle or application unit that has an
			 anhydrous ammonia container mounted on it and that is used for transporting
			 anhydrous ammonia from a source of supply to farms or fields or from one farm

			 by reference.
(t) "PSIG" means
			 pounds per square inch gauge pressure.
(u) "Permanent storage container" means a
			 stationary container having a volume of at least 3,000 water gallons.
(v) "Permanent storage facility" means a site
			 that includes one or more permanent storage containers and their connections
			 and appurtenances.
(w)
			 "Pressure-relief valve" means a device designed to open to relieve pressure
			 above a specified value to prevent an increase in internal fluid or vapor and
			 to close once acceptable pressure conditions have been restored.
(x) "Proof-of-inspection seal" and "current
			 KDA-is-sued proof-of-inspection seal" mean the decal applied to a permanent
			 system following a successful KDA inspection, which shall occur once per
