How is the WC rating of an ASME container expressed?

Pounds
Gallons
Liters
Bars

The correct answer is: Gallons

The WC rating of an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) container refers to its water capacity, which is expressed in gallons. This measure indicates the volume of water that the container can hold when filled to its maximum capacity. Using gallons as the unit of measure is standard practice in several regions, particularly in the United States, where ASME standards are commonly applied. Options like pounds, liters, and bars do not accurately represent water capacity in this context. Pounds would pertain to weight, liters are commonly used in metric systems but are not standard for ASME water capacity, and bars is a unit of pressure rather than volume. Therefore, expressing the WC rating in gallons is consistent with how ASME defines and communicates the capacity of their containers.
