How is the amount of LFG that may be loaded into a given tank determined?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) filling to the maximum level indicated on the liquid level gauging device.
The amount of LFG (liquefied flammable gas) that may be loaded into a given tank is determined by filling the tank to the maximum level indicated on the liquid level gauging device. This is in accordance with the regulations governing the loading and transportation of LFG, which require the tank to be filled to a specific level to ensure safe operation and prevent overpressurization.
The other options are incorrect because: A) loading to within 10 percent of the safety relief valve setting is not the correct method for determining the loading amount; B) loading to within 1 percent of outage is also not the standard method; and C) checking a loading sheet may provide additional information, but does not directly determine the loading amount.
