Question 243General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passThe components indicated as "7" and "8" as shown in the illustration, are known as the _______________. Illustration GS-0153

The correct answer is B) inlet weir and inlet baffle. The components labeled as "7" and "8" in the illustration GS-0153 represent the inlet weir and inlet baffle, respectively. The inlet weir is a barrier that helps to control the flow of liquid into the separator, while the inlet baffle is a device that helps to distribute the incoming flow and reduce turbulence, allowing for more efficient separation of oil and water. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the components labeled as "7" and "8" in the given illustration. Option A refers to a first-stage oil separator and drip pan, option C refers to a second-stage oil separator and drip pan, and option D refers to an outlet weir and outlet baffle, which are not the components shown in the illustration.
