- - CORRECT ANSWER >>>>>slightly above atmospheric


flowmeter tubes
common gas outlet


flowmeter tubes (Thrope tubes)
Vaporizers
One-way Check valve
Common gas outlet


Low-pressure Leak Test:
(Negative Pressure Test)


The low-pressure leak test (negative pressure test) assesses the
integrity of the low-pressure system from the flowmeter valves
to the common gas outlet.
