Question 2353 Deck General

The correct answer is B) four times the sum of the relief valve setting and the static head. The minimum bursting pressure for each cargo hose assembly is determined by multiplying the sum of the relief valve setting and the static head by a factor of four. This is in accordance with the regulations specified in 46 CFR 56.97-5, which require that the bursting pressure of cargo hoses be at least four times the sum of the relief valve setting and the static head. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. Option A would be too low, while options C and D would be insufficient to meet the safety standards mandated for cargo hose assemblies.
