Road vehicle

- Means the components of a vapour control system that recovers, destroys or disperses vapour collected from a tanker

Vapour processing unit

- On most ships which are specially designed for container traffic, the containers are carried fore and aft stowage

Lengthwise

- Stresses in rough seas are greater than fore and aft and the loading capacity of container side walls is designed to be higher than that of the end walls

Athwartships

- The atmosphere of an empty fuel tank is tested and designated "gas free". Which of the following statements is correct concerning this tank?

All of the above.

- The cargo in which freight is charged by volume, approximately more than a SF of 1.2 cum per metric ton

Measurement Cargo

- The condition in which the oxygen content in a flammable gas/air mixture is 8% or less by volume

Inerted

- The effect whereby the paint itself acts as a sacrificial anode that coating can prevent corrosion

Cathodic Effect

- The explosive range of methane is 5% to 15% by volume in air. This means a vapor/air mixture of

5 percent methane by volume will give a reading of 100 percent L.E.L. on a combustible gas indicator

240-E

- The heat to be absorbed in changing a solid to liquid is called

Latent Heat of Fusion

- The physical data term on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that indicates if the vapor formed by a material is lighter or heavier than air is called

vapor density

- The point in a tanker's fixed vapour collection system where it connects to a vapour collection hose or arm

Tanker vapour connection

5% and 7,600 cases

- When inert gas distribution piping is used for vapor collection piping, means to isolate the inert gas supply from the vapor collection system should be provided.

isolate
