Question 1039Deck General70% to pass

Each hose used for transferring vapors must be which of the following?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. This is because the regulations for transferring vapors using hoses on vessels require the hoses to meet all three of these specifications: 1) Be capable of withstanding at least 2.0 psi vacuum without collapsing or constricting, to prevent damage during the transfer process. 2) Be electrically continuous with a maximum resistance of 10,000 ohms, to prevent static electricity buildup and potential ignition sources. 3) Have a design burst pressure of at least 25 psig, to ensure the hose can safely handle the pressure of the transfer. The other options are incorrect because they only specify one or two of these required hose characteristics, rather than all three as mandated by the regulations.
