70% to pass

All fire hoses on mobile offshore drilling units must be tested to a pressure of at least _______________.

A 100 psi
B 110 psi
C 120 psi
D 130 psi
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 110 psi. According to the regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 108.427, all fire hoses on mobile offshore drilling units must be tested to a pressure of at least 110 psi. This requirement ensures that the fire hoses can withstand the necessary pressure to effectively fight fires on these offshore drilling platforms. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the 110 psi requirement specified in the regulations. A pressure of 100 psi (option A) or higher pressures of 120 psi (option C) or 130 psi (option D) would not be in compliance with the regulatory standard.
