法。6. When a plurality of stationary liquefied gas filling machines are used to fill a liquefied gas into a filling container in parallel, an identification medium is attached to the filling container and each liquefied gas filled at an arbitrary position is filled. Uses an identification medium reader that can be moved in any reading order that can correspond to each machine, and connects each liquefied gas filling machine and the identification medium reader to a host computer, and attaches it to the filling container that receives the liquefied gas The identification information of the filled container is read from the identified identification medium by the identification medium reading device and referred to the host computer, and the individual information of the filled container to be filled out of the individual data of each filled container stored in the host computer. Is read out and sent to the liquefied gas filling machine that performs the read individual information and the filling, and when the liquefied gas filling machine receives the individual information, the ready state is given to the person. Then, when it is detected that the filling start switch is operated, the control valve on the side of the liquefied gas filling machine is opened to liquefy the required amount based on the individual information and the measured weight value of the filling container by the liquefied gas filling machine. A liquefied gas charging method in which the control valve automatically closes when gas is charged.
